Enemies to lovers?

Yeah, this isn't what I would really consider an enemies to lovers book... acquaintances to lovers at best. The ending felt rushed in my opinion. Like there was a boat load of suspense with nothing really happening and then bam something happens and it's fixed in the next chapter. It felt uneventful.

ok tbh it wasn’t so bad but f*ck
they were SO TOXIC and i hate that
im tired of using the « dark romance » trope to justify making MCs toxic and that frustrated me so much with that book
A.book.can.be.dark.romance.while.not.being.TOXIC.
i said it

I devoured Stick and Stones. It has all the enemies to lovers, hockey, close proximity, and insane chemistry that is attempted to be ignore, but in all cases someone finally breaks and gives in. I could not get enough of Wren and Stone. They grew up around each out with Stone being Wren’s brother’s best friend, but life choices make these two hate each other and enemies. Now a few years later and these two are not only on the same campus, but now roomies. The constant banter and just back and forth, you never know what the one will say or do to get the last word in. Wren and Stone take us on an emotionally intense ride that will have you on the edge of your seat trying to see how it will end with these two. I could not get enough and loved the characters we meet in this book. Go read and find out if Wren and Stone can move on from the past or if it will constantly be a reminder.
