Wow!!

I could not put this book down. From about chapter 4 I fell in love with the characters and the way their story was told. The alternation between Cooper and Mackenzie made me not put this book down and binge read it within the day. 

This book intertwines the enemies to lovers trope with some deeper issues that were approached in a subtle yet impactful way; again making me feel like I was drawn into the characters even more.

I didn’t want this book to end. I have so many questions about other factors approached in their story and what happens to the character beyond the book. More about Cooper and Mackenzie is definitely something I would love to read.

Im honestly sad it’s over. I hope Kennedy decides to carry on their story.

4.5

This is a very light hearted contemporary romance. It was kind of a struggle to get gripped with it and I sorta felt the last portions of the book was rushed. I still enjoyed it enough to finish it but I wouldn’t read it again. Small spoilers bellow. 

I the main reveal of the lie is very lacklustre. Mac’s character isn’t very deep nor has she got good character development. Cooper on the other hand is a great character with a small second chance arc. I feel like we should have gotten to feel more of macs heart break because she just comes across as if she doesn’t care when we’re getting deep ish pov of cooper and how he feels. I feel like I wouldn’t read it again.
