I enjoyed this book a lot. I loved the interactions between them. I loved how this is was a bit lighter compared to usual enemies to lovers. Both characters really did respect each other’s skills and boundaries, it was lovely to see. I never been a fan of enemies to lovers stories where the characters commit acts that seem incredibly irredeemable. 

The pacing was great it wasn’t dragging its feet nor was it too fast. I will add that there were certain moments where it was unnecessarily repetitive. A lot of telling and showing when it would’ve been just fine with just the showing. 

The last 10% of the book was just so beautiful. I love the message of community being just as important as any romantic relationship. That taking care of yourself is difficult but shouldn’t be something you do alone, you should lean on others when needed and return the favor.
