The Un-Arranged Marriage

3.5⭐️

If you’re looking for an enemies to lovers or childhood rivals book, this is a cute one! Shaina and Mark have been competing since they were children and their mothers wanted to arrange their marriage. In this, they have to team up and start competing agains other couples to win a wedding competition. 

I enjoyed the banter and surprisingly the slow burn on this one. It’s a longer than normal romcom so expect a lot of pining! The main conflict from their childhood was over pretty quickly, which was a little surprising but I thought it was done well. I didn’t totally believe the final conflict, how it played out felt a little forced. 

Nice light good read if you’re looking for dual perspectives! Thanks to @netgalley for this ARC.
