The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley

4.0

4-4.25 (I can't decide) - My main critique is that there is a lot of telling and not showing. For example, they banter and snip at each other but (especially in the beginning) all we get is a summary of what they said, we don't actually get the hear it. It got better throughout the story but it still was there occasionally. That being said, I had so much fun reading this book! I really like how in-depth the magic system is explained, it almost feels scientific. Also this is one of the very few books where these people are ENEMIES. There isn't even talk of attraction until like 70% into the book and you really do get to see them get to that realization and warring with their emotions toward each other. Also the plot was so fun that I read it so fast despite the chapters being quite long. I also giggled throughout this whole thing ESPECIALLY ch 18 and 19 lol. I enjoyed both characters but lovvveeeddd Aurienne. And thank god these people are actual adults (though I don't think it's specified how old they are, at least late 20s.)
