This was a cute read but I feel like the pranks were just too childish at times and they let their "hate" fester for too long but then the getting together and falling for each other was way to quick. Which means that the last quarter of the book dragged a lot and the conflicts were a bit too contrived so they were resolved very quickly. It just lacked tension in the end unfortunately.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

The set up of the book felt contrived and forced. But on plus side it was well-paced, and at times sweet. I wanted to like this book, but it was a total miss for me.

Molly and June Jude‘s story was adorable Molly I related to so deeply with just about everything. I loved her character development and Jude was just such a delight, the great cheesy heartwarming and the best way I found it a little bit too cheesy at some points and some of the dialogue felt a little not There for me overall adorable read with an adorable cover and great side characters!!

Jude Stark and Molly Blum are reunited after nearly a decade apart when their siblings decide to throw a joint anniversary party for both sets of parents. Jude and Molly spent their childhood playing pranks against each other and pick up right where they left off with the pranking. As they spend more time together planning the party, the pair starts to develop a friendship. Molly and Jude also discover that they have been dating people that have various similarities to the other.

I liked the concept of this book, but overall it fell short for me. The book has a childhood rivals to lovers story, but some of the pranking felt mean spirited. Also, it felt like Molly was more interested in Jude than he was in her. I feel like I would have enjoyed it more if we had Jude’s POV also to see the development of feelings on his end.
