This books was lowkey overhyped. I’d only recommend it if you really like the Enemies to Lovers trope. If you do, it’s literally perfect. If you don’t, it’s meh. Especially since the book is less of a coherent story and more a collection of Booktok's favorite tropes stringed together. The plot is really put to the side for the romance. Which is fine. It just isn’t my preference. I don’t really have a gripe with the book though, since overall, it’s exactly what people (including the author) say it is and advertise it as. That being said, I don’t think I’ll be buying any more of Gong’s books.
