The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley
3.75
I had a lot of mixed feelings about this book and honestly struggled to pick a rating. I did not think I would like it due to the third person narrative, following both characters. There is a certain amount of distance that you feel from the characters and in a way that does not immerse you into the story completely. Although the characters had a lot of development throughout the book, they did not seem to have a lot of depth.
With all that being said I found this book quite entertaining, and very humerous in a dry kind of way. From the way the characters spoke, to the thoughts/descriptions, and even the title names. This book was littered with comedy throughout and I was often giggling.
I did enjoy this book more than I expected to. Without giving spoilers I will say that I was frustrated by the ending of the book. It felt like the ending came up very randomly and there was so much unresolved. The main story is about the FMC healing the MMC, but that feels like it gets thrown out at the end and the mystery subplot suddenly takes over the entire story.
This was a true enemies to lovers. Not a "the FMC misunderstands the MMC and he is actually a good guy and the whole enemy thing was not even real." No. This is a legit enemies to lovers where they hate each other and put up with each other due to what they need from the other. I really enjoyed how this was different from the enemies to lovers trope of so many romantasy books.
This book is 70% dialogue so I was expecting it to be a quick read, but I ended up reading it in my average time (3 days).
Although I did find the ending frustrating, I will be reading the second when it relases.
