Loathing Ryan by Aria Harding

medium-paced

4.5

This is the first book I’ve read by Aria Harding and it won’t be my last! The way I was able to picture this whole entire book as a movie made me so dang giddy. I’m always here for an enemies to lovers romance and this one did not disappoint. I’m normally not a fan of the whole summer camp setting in my books, with that being said I ate this one up. I loved the angst so much and how you know for a fact there is more there but both of them were fighting it and being so damn mean to each other. The banter back and forth had me giggling out loud. Ryan would be such a jerk to Izabel but then say things like “ I’m here. I’ve got you. You’re safe” and I swear I melted every single time. I actually forgot that they were seniors in high school throughout most of this book. At times it read older but then the FMC would do or say something and I would quickly realize their ages. There was only a short period of time where things were going too good and I got a bit bored. I feel like that happens in most books though. I love the angst before they get together and then once they do it just kinda like 🤔 what now? The way this book ended had me so thankful the next one in the duet comes out tomorrow.
