I picked this up from my friend as a joke but unfortunately, I kind of liked it. Mostly in part because the male love interest parallels my boyfriend in many ways and he’s perfect and hot and talented sooooo…. duh. But the plot was interesting enough and the tension throughout the enemies to lovers trope was enjoyed more than expected.
Be warned that this as close as a book can get to being p0rn basically lol. But ya know what… I wasn’t mad about it 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
The maturity of the writing was the hardest thing to see past. There were several times throughout the book where I was like “oh, I’m actually physically cringing”. There were also times where I said to myself, “I could’ve written this in a fanfic when I was 14.” So it’s kind of bad and juvenile but I stuck it out bc the main characters were hot sue me
Also the ending was catastrophically unsatisfying!!!

Stas just gets knocked up and basically her whole career is gone?! Be for real girly!!! Did she even want a baby?! Did Nate? It’s just annoying like WHY did they have to get pregnant why can’t they just be successful and chill out

Honestly, this book isn’t what I expected. At all. I enjoyed reading this, somewhat. It was engaging throughout the entire book. I will have to warn you, this book is definitely a lot “spicier” than I had expected. It goes into some detail, (a lot more than I was expecting), just a warning. I wouldn’t read it if you’re not old enough. The characters though. I don’t even know where to start with them. I loved reading this and watching them grow and mature as individuals. I hate Aaron with a passion. There were points in the book where he made me internally scream. The book was a little longer than it really needed to be, but it was still engaging. If you aren’t one who is up to reading smut, I really don’t recommend it. Overall, the book was okay. It wasn’t really my thing but that’s also partially my fault because I should have done a little more research on it before buying it.
