4.5

Literally such an adorable book and concept! There were so many different moving parts and I'm super impressed by how well the author was able to wrap everything up by the end of the book. Super satisfying ending and a really great enemies to reluctant coworkers to lovers progression. I especially appreciated how this book didn't objectify either the male or female lead, and it was never like "[female lead character] had always felt insecure about her 5'4 hourglass frame with perfect boobs and ass" which is always annoying as shit. I also really liked how much character development happened for both characters and their other relationships outside of their romance.
The only reason I docked this rating from 5 stars is because of the love triangle which is a trope I personally cannot stand.
