Holy moly! You want a book packed full of tension? Then this is the book for you! Like there was so much tension and pining in this book that I felt it in my bones! These two were made for each other. Enemies to lovers done so flippin’ well! The holiday setting in Hawaii, makes this a perfect summer read and just watching them fall in love but not being able to do anything about it! He’s her ex’s older brother, but she’s on holiday with his family because her ex invited her! That gives you a little insight into the kinda tension I’m talking about!!! There’s no cheating, but you can tell from the off that these two are destined for each other. The little gestures Josh does for Drew had me swooning, this man is the perfect book boyfriend. He will do anything for her and I love that so much. One of my favourite couples! The only thing that makes this not a 5⭐️ is the fact I thought the drama surrounding her record label was very rushed and there was a lot of build up for it to just be a bit anti climactic. But over all I adored this book and the characters!
