this was so cute!! such a perfect fluffy read. the relationship was super cute, and the atmosphere was perfect! so many of these types of books are slacking on the actual setting but not this one! It seems like Hill is mainly writing reality show type books and now that I know she can write them well I will be back!

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I was left with so many questions. I did not like Reese AT ALL. She was so judgemental it annoyed me. Her behaviour towards Benny made me almost DNF it... just like the feminist talk.
I am so sad, there was so much potential for a cozy read.

A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!
A strangers to rivals to lovers trope?! Yes, please! Reese and Benny are rival interns at Friends of Flavor, competing for a job to solidify their positions in the company. But what happens when the two rivals start to fall for each other after spending more and more time together while filming their viral videos?
I love this cover, I love this story, and I love the characters. Benny’s nicknames for Reese were cute, but Reese’s nicknames for Benny had me ROLLING.
While there were certain times that Reese made me want to scream and rip out of my hair out of sheer FRUSTRATION, I also realize that she is a 100% relatable character (AKA she is literally me at times), which is probably why I was so invested in this story. Also, I’d love a Clara and Natalie in my life.
Overall, I loved it. Benny has my heart. Time to ask my boyfriend to wear caps backwards now
Will definitely be purchasing this book when it comes out on April 5, 2022!

For a cutesy contemporary rom-com, this book delivered.
The banter between the love interests was adorable and had me smiling so hard. What dropped the rating was the miscommunication, and unnecessary competition (leading to more miscommunication).
My biggest issue with the book was just how they tried to tackle so many issues. There is a lot of backstory and sexist shit that the FMC continues to go through and the book tries to cover it all. It's just a lot and the book fails to discuss it in a meaningful way and it comes off as tacky yk. Anyway, it was overall a cutesy rom-com.
