I have honestly read most of the book but skipping all the middle part. It feels too dark and dirty for my liking

* Enemies to Lovers

* High School Drama

* Escapism

When Bianca Piper’s home life takes a turn for the worst, she goes looking for distraction anywhere she can find it. And if that means sleeping with the enemy, well, she’ll do whatever it takes.

If the description doesn’t give it away, there’s a bit of spiciness in this book, and a mildly offensive and negative inner voice that could be off-putting for some readers. This book strikes an impressive balance between fluffy and heavy topics, and is a good escapist read, despite the unapologetic heaviness and insecurities that drive the plot forward. This is a pretty focused story, though - outside of the various intersecting relationship dramas, the world is somewhat one-dimensional. Definitely one of those novels that’s always good for a re-read!

Wish there was a second book. If you like the movies Kissing Booth, this is for you.

This is not the same story as the movie! But it has the same characters. It’s just a little darker and more serious

I read this book after watching the movie, so for anyone in that boat just know the book and movie are vastly different! But I have to say, I honestly think I like the movie better (which never happens) only because I’m probably too old to be reading/watching high school dramas (I’m 32 but can’t let go of my YA!) so the reason I like the movie was really for the comedy which was carried by Mae Whitman who plays Bianca, and the book wasn’t really that funny nor was Bianca’s character. What I did like about the book though was the more complex issues that Bianca was facing, and more characterization with Wesley, so for that I give it 3.5 stars! Overall, an entertaining read.
