A fun, quick easy clean read. Cute YA read.
emotional funny hopeful

This was such a cute read, and super quick too! Bummed that it didn't have enough frenemies-to-lovers banter, but still cute!

Super cute book and a quick read. Another enemies to lover story but I really liked it!

I can not give this more than 3.25. This book did not feel like NA at all since literally nothing happened between the mains. I like both Lauren and Clay, but I kinda didn't love how this story was worked out. It wasn't bad, I just expected better and have read way too many romance books this year to still be impressed by something pretty average.

Such an adorable book. Brothers best friends trope. It was just a light hearted, quick read. I definitely recommend! It was a clean romance book but the banter and forbidden romance trope definitely made it better!

3/5 spice. Best friend’s little sister romance. It’s cute and fun and sweet. Would read again.
