mia_reads_romance 's review for:
Frenemy Fix-Up
by Yahrah St. John
I am a big fan of opposites attract romance because it often leads to good comedy! I also really enjoy when characters who don't like each other have to work together so I thought this one was right up my alley. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me.
I did enjoy Shay's independence. I also liked seeing Colin realize what was important in his life. I think a lot of people will relate to his struggle with companies that don't allow for a work-life balance.
I enjoyed that Colin couldn't stay away from Shay even though he wanted to but I didn't fully understand their connection beyond physical attraction and enjoyable sex. I wanted to see Shay get rid of all her worries about falling in love and would have liked Colin to recognize his feelings sooner.
I also wasn't crazy about how this book handled the topic of depression. I felt a little bit like it was treated a bit like a moral failing. I think if Shay's mom had struggled with a physical illness it would have been viewed much differently. Now that might have just been Shay's perception but I would have liked that to have been made clear if that was the case. As someone who deals with depression, I wasn't a huge fan.
Thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin for providing me with an ARC of this title so I could write a review. All opinions are my own.
