The Launch Date by Annabelle Slator

2.75

A co-worker/enemies to lovers/rivals to lovers British romcom.  Eric and Grace work for the same parent company and different divisions.   They both manage dating apps- she manages the one that is looking for true love, he manages the one that is for basically hookups.   They are both up for a promotion to Director of Marketing and the big boss says they need to test out new first date app with each other.  There is no direct messaging on the app, favoring face to face connection.   Grace has a long term boyfriend- William, who we don't like, but we aren't sure why until about halfway through. 

I liked this story, I didn't love it, I think that the beginning where Grace hated Eric to be too believable, and I didn't quite come along to love him as she grows to do.  I did find the concept to be creative and the descriptives and setting to be excellent.   A solid effort from a debut author.
