Only When It's Us by Chloe Liese

  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

This was pretty funny, pretty cute and pretty solid overall. I liked their relationship and the banter/wit was written really well (as well as being pretty smart). I liked how similar it was to a movie and the journey from enemies to frenemies to lovers. Also I really enjoyed sports being a main factor (soccer). Love a good sports romance.  I liked how it was dual POV as well and we got to see Ryder’s perspective.  I enjoyed this tho and I will read the rest of the books in the series. 

The grief and cancer in this book (and PTSD) added a layer of realism and it was nice to see how healthy coping mechanisms were shown and how you can still have love and romance and other problems in your life. 

Characters are diverse bc of disability representation, not bc of racial/ethnic diversity - it was a bit diverse bc it has Swedish rep but they’re not really a minority. I think the best friend is Indian?
