5.0

• forced proximity 
• dagger to the throat 
• knife wife vibes
• kinda enemies to lovers but also i don’t know if i would call them enemies they just hate and are annoyed by each other
• both love interests perspectives!!!
• they just love each other so much but don’t wanna admit it 
• pretty boy nickname <3
• short chapters
• the ballenger family has such an interesting dynamic and i liked seeing them so protective of each other 

This book was so so so good, and I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. Literally each time I put it down I was excited/happy when I got to read more of it, and it was very easy to read, and very enjoyable. And I am very excited to read the sequel but after that ending i need it now cause i’m confused.

oliverreeds's review

i got bored; the characters are repetitive and the sequence of events wasn't enticing enough. it was a lot of straight people doing straight people things and having straight people arguments.
