2/5 🎖️🎖️
Tidak sebagus yang kukira.
Sampai 50% membaca pun tidak menemukan kenapa nilai rata-ratanya sampai di 4.22 dan semua orang suka sekali dengan buku ini. Malah di 50% awal sebel sekali dengan jalan ceritanya. Lucy seperti terobsesi sekali dengan Josh. Kayak rendah banget deh jadinya image Lucy. Terus hal lain yang bikin gak suka adalah ini temanya kan love-hate-relationship ya tapi menurutku kayak gak sesuai aja dengan usia mereka. Ini mah love-hate versi anak SMA. Kekanak-kanakan sekali. Yang membuatku terus melanjutkan membaca terlepas dari alasan diatas adalah penasaran sekali kenapa banyak yang suka dan kasih rate tinggi-tinggi sekali.
Untung dipertengahan dan akhir mulai membaik ceritanya, mulai menarik dan mulai setuju kenapa banyak yang suka.
Endingnya juga lumayan walaupun gak nendang. Kurang greget. Harusnya kan ketemu dulu sama orangtuanya Lucy apalagi Lucy cerita a-z tentang Josh ke ortunya. Harusnya bakal lebih lucu dan ceritanya pun akan lebih menarik. Satu lagi, harusnya diceritakan dong bagaimana interview nya Lucy. Kan gak jelas banget ini Lucy jadi COO atau enggak. Makin sebel kan gak jelas begini.
Oleh karenanya ku hanya bisa me-rate buku ini 2/5 🎖️🎖️Namanya juga selera kan ya. Walaupun seribu orang nge-rate buku ini 4-5 tapi bagiku 2 saya sudah cukup, malah terlalu bagus. Kalau bukan karena pertengahan cerita yang lumayan bagus, pastilah cuma ku-rate 1/5.
Intinya menurutku buku ini overrated sekali.

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

This book fr complete satire. Like this made me laugh so much cause it FR was made to be a comedy that made fun of like romance troupes and for some reason people can it pick up on that and think this is supposed to be some serious romance book

I love that the MFC is an avid reader. “My conditioner is probably more per ounce than cocain” hahaha! This was cute, I loved the banter and mutual pining - while trying to hate each other. It was funny, which i love in a book, and the MCs had good chemistry, even when they were being mean to each other. Theres a lot of sameness from the movie, but also the book has way more details and some of the main parts are executed differently so I enjoyed reading that.
🌶️ 2/5 The spice took awhile to get moving, but there was a lot of flirty/spicy banter. I guess you could call it four play leading up until when you finally do get to it. Then when you do it was sweet, funny, and awkward cute.

Immediate and Most Likely Rambling Thoughts:
As with most romance books that I tend to read, I breezed through it (for my reading pace/standards). I was sucked into where the Adventures of Lucy and Josh would go next but the thing that bothered me was that it never really felt like a true hate to love, at least not as much as the book advertised. Of course Josh was an asshole for the beginning but he also had a tiny bit of nice side that Lucy just didn't seem to see. When Lucy needed a ride home, he offered but Lucy just scoffed and declined his offer. Also there was an kiss that happened out of the blue and without consent in the beginning that threw me for a loop.
Most of the hate seemed to be stemming from Lucy. But also, similarly to the Unhoneymooners, the resentment in this plot hinged on the Miscommunication trope. Now this trope doesn't bother me as much as it might most people (probably because I rarely recognise it) but it does cheapens the hate a bit. For once, I would like to read a romance where they openly admit that they hated each other from the beginning which would actually make it seem like they grew to love each other. I felt it was obvious he liked her from the beginning.
Speaking of Lucy as a character, she seemed childish in the beginning but she grew on me. I loved in the end when she stood up for Josh to his father. Especially because he couldn't. Josh had tried so hard to when his fathers approval but realised nothing he ever did would be good enough and Josh would always live in his brother shadow's in his eyes. I also like that the father and Josh didn't have a quick reunion as most brooding guys with a hate relationship with one of their parents. The way that Sally Thorne twisted the brooding guy with a bad/abusive father in a more unique was than I have seen was that it was most of neglect and a psychological abuse than physical abuse. It's a different perspective.
This is a long, spur of the moment review with no structure which I am writing at 4 in the morning so if you actually read this far and it makes no sense you know why. I'm tired and about to sleep
