*I received an eARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
High school rivals to lovers is one of my all time favorite tropes, and this certainly didn’t disappoint! Nami and Jae haven’t seen each other in 10 years but their chemistry is still aflame. I loved the dual perspectives, showing us that Jae has always found Nami attractive and intriguing, whereas Nami has to work through her “hatred” of Jae in order to see how well suited they are.
I thought the conflict was very believable, both between the main characters and with their families. I liked getting to know their coworkers, friends, and families. There’s is really nothing about this book I didn’t enjoy!
