"I'm turning redder than a flippin strawberry."
Someone euthanise me. NEVER read this book ever I can't physically give it more than one star because that would be an INSULT to ALL GOOD LITERATURE. How this book is so highly rated I have ZERO clue because Sally Thorne should NEVER pick up a book again. The characters were written so poorly, for a book that claims to be 'enemies-to-lovers slowburn' ITS NOT VERY SLOW IF THEY'RE MAKING OUT AT 7% IN.
"Le sigh."
I wish I fucking DNF'ed this book but I forced myself through because I was reading this for a book club. Never again. If I was in Farenheit 451 this would be the FIRST and ONLY book I would ban because this is a travesty against every other author alive. Does Sally Thorne even know how to pick up a pen?
"I stand and slap my own butt loud enough to make my point."
In Chapter 5..? ...Ok. NOTHING about this book was good. Every page turn evoked such a visceral rage from me that I'm pretty sure I saw red at one point. The writing is so poor, the characterisation is poor, the pacing is poor, EVERYTHING IS POOR SO WHY ARE WE MAKING SALLY THORNE RICH FROM SALES.
The main character, Lucy, is obsessed with collecting smurf figurines, has complete mood changes every chapter, is apparently SO tiny that "the smallest suit they had is still so big that people laugh when they see me". Okay Sally Thorne. Lucy can't decide whether she hates Joshua (the ML) or wants to "scrunch up [his] T-shirt into a bowl and eat it with a dessert spoon." How relatable am I right, when reading this I really wanted to pour pure cyanide into a bowl and eat it with a dessert spoon!
"I cross my eyes at him, poke my tongue out, and say, 'Derrrr.'" Threw up a little!
Readability: 4/10
Relationship Development: 1/10
Characterisation + Depth 1/10
Plot Cohesion 4/10
Reasonable/Grounded 3/10
Pacing 2/10
World Building 3/10
Pathos/Emotiveness 7/10 (but ONLY because of the pure rage I felt while reading)
Smut/Romance 4+1/10 (/5 how heavy it was, /5 how good it was)
Uniqueness 2/5
Language 1/5
TL;DR: EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK SUCKS, DO NOT READ

The main character did feel childish, sometimes, and the constant mentions of how tiny she is, and how big and tall he is was getting old, but overall, I had fun reading this book.

i read this in one day while sick in bed and it was so fast - i’m so late to the hype for this one but bestie lisa let me borrow her copy and i really enjoyed this (i even cried woops). i love a man who yearns and joshua templeman is certainly a YEARNER. is it really hate to love??? questionable but nonetheless i liked their dynamic (opposites attract) and the lowkey unhinged office games 😭 they really stood up for each other/helped each other grow and that was really nice to see (lucy i see you girl as a fellow people pleaser 😗)
