The ending was common for a romance so it couldn't be given 5 stars. But I loved the diverse range of characters and the ADHD representation as well as the depression representation. Lily and Tobin where made for each other, its Childhood friends to enemies to lovers.

The first half or so of this book was actually pretty good and I thought I would end up leaving a good review but the second half broke it for me.
I hated the fact that once Tobin and Lily got together physically, they wouldn’t stop doing it. I don’t care if it happens in the background of the story because I believe couples have sex on the regular but I really did not appreciate it being mentioned every damn time after the first time. It kind of gave off the impression that their relationship was more physical than emotional.
On that same note, I had trouble understanding the emotional aspects of Tobin and Lily’s relationship - almost as if there were barely any in the first place. Besides Lily apologising for trying to put Tobin’s career over his mental health when he told her he needed a vacation, there was really nothing else. And every single time the author tried to justify them being together, the reasons were very superficial - he loosened her up (personality-wise) and he liked spending time with her. That’s why I didn’t really feel the chemistry between the two of them and to me, their relationship actually felt like more of one of convenience.
The YouTube portions of the story were pretty fun; I was impressed by the author’s ability to make up so many different “content” by herself. This was also the first YouTuber book I’ve read so knowledge acquisition-wise, it wasn’t too bad.

This was really cute! I loved the back and forth between the two leads. She was uptight, and he was impulsive - it was that perfect kind of opposites attract romance. Looking forward to reading the next one!

Maybe the frenemies to lovers trope DOES deserve rights
This was really adorable and engaging. I wanted more tbh, the social media/mental health commentary is needed.
