Few books have been as horrendously bad as this one. The last chapter and epilogue were so annoying I just flew over them.
The story plays around with the idea that abuse is actually deep and true love, that the victim of abuse should understand the abuser and excuse the abuse because they are not to be blamed. A rough past is a valid excuse for being abusive, and the abused should not only understand but be there and take the hurt to “help” the abuser get over it.
What a “great” message to spread around. It’s particularly rich when enduring abuse is wrapped up in the idea that there is only one Mr. Right and letting the abuser go might mean losing the love of your life. Because self respect is so overrated, I suppose.

Dylan is great. Gabe is an idiot.
I really enjoyed the fun banter for most of the book, but I couldn't really understand or connect with Gabe. Towards the end, he became almost a different person entirely. I couldn't quite go along with it without rolling my eyes a bit. Overall though, I actually did enjoy reading this book quite a bit.
I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an easy, fun read.

even though we were not there from the moment they met their connection showed. i’ve seen ppl call this enemies to lovers but it’s more banter than anything else. gabe can be inlikabke at times and it makes sense why he was they he was. all in all this was fun.

4.25 stars, rounded down.
All of the amazing snark and banter one might expect from Lily Morton, which was great fun (Also, Joel Leslie is amazing as always on the audiobook). As much as I loved the Finding Home series, though, Dylan and Gabe didn't grab me as a couple. I think maybe it was because I disliked Gabe so much that his redemption arc seemed a bit pat.
Also, I want to know what I need to do to have six-pack abs without ever setting foot in a gym, because seriously WTF?
