gaelstorm 's review for:

The Last Word by Katy Birchall
4.0

A cute romance that I really enjoyed! I appreciate that I actually liked the two main characters, which can sometimes be difficult with the... mild spoiler... Enemies to Lovers trope.

Like in some Enemies to Lovers books one or both of them are just soooo incredibly mean (but so incredibly sexy), and then at some point a switch is flipped and they are head over heals in love and so sickeningly sweet to each other. It can just reach a point where it's so unbelievable it's hard for me to be into it. BUT this book did not do that. The characters didn't feel one dimensional, and their interactions (both the good and bad interactions) felt believable and also forgivable (so I could actually root for their romance and not yell at the pages "NO do not forgive him, find someone better!" haha)


❤️ What kind of romance can I expect in this book?
