 Essie and Nate are stuck together, planning his brother and her best friend's wedding. It shouldn't be an issue being in such close proximity, but he ghosted her years ago after a kiss and was supposed to call. Did he? No, of course not. And now he hates her apparently. His grumpiness is legendary, and she's not about to put up with it. Or at least, that's what she tells herself...until the real Nate starts peeking through and she can't help herself from falling for that side of him.

The banter is snarky and witty and fun. The couple is grumpy/sunshine adorableness. And they are individually such great characters separately who complete each other when they fall in love. Their journey had its highs and lows, and their backstories were a bit heartbreaking, especially Nate's, but by the end, I was smiling so hard as they finally opened up and got on the same page at the same time. I love this couple and their story - their delicious chemistry, their enemies vibe that didn't really disguise their real feelings, and how their emotional bond only strengthened with each page.
