My thoughts:
Every once in a while, I come across a debut that reads like it was written by someone who has been writing for publication for years, and thatβs precisely what I experienced with Love Interest. Itβs a bright, charming, and amazingly authentic enemies-to-lovers workplace rom-com that is slightly spicy and full of maturity and heart.
My favorite thing about the story is that the characters find it essential to consider their own professional needs while also determining their feelings for each other. Itβs refreshingly mature and, Iβm sure, something many young professionals have to deal with today. Gone are the days when a woman would drop years of hard work for a man.
Casey, the main character, tells the story with all its fun twists and turns as first she canβt stand Alex Harrison for beating her out for a position in a company sheβs worked hard for since graduating from college (2 years) and then gives in to the attraction that made her not like him even a bit more at first. Their romance felt utterly authentic and contemporary.
I adored this romantic comedy for its fresh take on a modern romance between 20-somethings who must consider their career in all critical life decisions. Itβs funny and heartwarming, even at times a little heartbreaking, and I adored every minute of it.
