I enjoyed the book, and seeing how Cassidy and Luke transitioned from adversaries to friends, to lovers was great. They are such opposites but complimented each other so well.

The third act breakup was frustrating because Luke couldn’t let himself believe he deserved a life for himself when it obvious he wanted one. I was glad the separation wasn’t for very long. It was also great the Cassidy stood up for herself to her Mom.

4/5 on the Spicy Scale

4.5 ⭐ The most perfect romcom I've read in years!

This book's put me in a book slump this whole week since I finished it. I don't know what it had in it, but I was hooked! I fell head first and loved every second. The writing flowed so perfectly. The plot was fast, easy to follow, fun and romantic. I didn't want it to end! And although I'll be the first to admit that it doesn't necessarily bring anything new to the genre... omg I loved it!

Cassidy needs to get to LA for her sister wedding, but the world seems to be conspiring against her. Getting to the airport in her piece of junk car is enough of a challenge, and she definitely doesn't need a hot, suited up guy to steal the only parking spot available and then ignore her when she screams to hold the shuttle bus doors open. And she seriously doesn't need his help when she finds that they're on the same plane to LA... Or when that plane needs to make an emergency landing in the middle of nowhere. Luke hates planes with a passion, but his mother and sister are in LA and there's nothing that he wouldn't do to be there for them. Including but not limited to putting up with a gorgeous redhead that seems to want to hate him on principle.

This book is everything I've ever wanted in a romcom. It was kind of predictable, but in the best ways. It was ridiculous enough to bring levity into every situation, no matter how dire or down-right tragic. The main characters are both so lovable for complete different reasons, which makes it feel like they were perfect for each other. Like a puzzle piece that fits perfectly with the one shaped in the exact opposite way. The whole opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine trope gets me every time! And the spice was so, so good. It took a while to get there, but it was 100% worth the wait. The quiet hero with a hidden dirty side is flawless to me.

The only thing that's keeping me from giving it the whole 5 stars is the miscommunication/ refusal to confirm or communicate openly with one another. It's so frustrating, especially in Dual POV books like this one, because we know! We all know that they both want the same thing, but safe from screaming into my kindle for them to talk, there's nothing to be done about it. That being said, I'm not super-mad about the 3rd act break up, which I tend to hate, but this one I kind of understand. Kind of...
Spoiler the handing of the cat keys in the parking lot killed a piece of my soul though.
There's also a lot of difficult/ abusive family dynamics, with disease and addiction involved, so take those TW into account before getting into it.

But if you take a recommendation from me, give this book a chance! I already want to reread this.

⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 / 5

YES - enemies to lovers, forced proximity, grumpy sunshine, his and hers perspectives, and  the perfect amount of spice without over powering the story. Loved loved loved this, listened to some chapters on repeat it was so good!

This was an okay read. I just can't see or believe that two strangers could fall in love within two days.
