Now idk how the fuck i read it so quick when it took me a month to read another book with similar page count but OMG i loved the romance, the rivalry, the healing. It was amazingly written and felt so real. Cant wait for book 2

Overall decent read. Could tell it was (possibly?) self published, lots of grammar mistakes and sentence structure was a little wonky. Plot was fun and I enjoyed the enemies to friends to lovers trope, one bed trope, and found family trope. Mild spice with maybe 3 scenes that weren’t super graphic.

Forces of Nature is an easy read-- nothing too difficult to digest and a good breather between books. This book had all the good romance tropes, but it did seem quite similar to The Hating Game. Also, after reading two of Elle Rivers's books, it does seem she has a pretty similar storyline in her books. However, I do appreciate the author for giving possible trigger warnings and showing readers healthy (nontoxic) romantic relationships. This book is well-paced, and the author keeps the angst balanced with the rest of the story. The ending definitely ended on a cliffhanger of sorts, so I am interested in seeing how the next book of this series goes. There were a few mistakes in the writing, but overall, I did enjoy this book.

This was a cute story, but there were a lot of errors in the book that made it difficult to read sometimes. The pacing was generally good, and I liked the resolution of the plot points, but it was a bit hard to follow at times. Overall a fun read, just needed a bit more polishing!
