I have no idea why this took me SO long to finish, but I’m very happy I took my time with josh and jules’ enemies to lovers story!!!
a lot of the time, enemies to lovers is more “oh we argued once and now we’re in love,” but this was a TRUE enemies relationship!!! I mean, the hate 🌶️ alone was too hot for me to handle 🥵
while I think josh and jules are my least favorite of the couples so far, I have to admit that their lives were beyond interesting and I was so invested! although it was severely lacking the suspense of the previous two novels, in my opinion …
the conflict with jules’ past and her relationship with max was very underwhelming. I loved seeing him finally get what he deserved, but it all happened rather anticlimactically.
my favorite parts of this entire long ass book, however, were alex and josh’s bromance. I loved seeing them work through their issues healthily, and go back to the “I’ll never admit it but you’re my bff” friendship they so deserve!!!! they are perfect for each other 😭😭
all in all, I’m super looking forward to stella’s story because the clues leading up to this one are UNREAL, and I’ve heard it’s the best one 🤭
