You're the Problem, It's You by Emma R. Alban
Did not finish book. Stopped at 32%.
I think I was just not the audience for this particular book at this particular time.
The enemies to lovers trope came off too strong for me. I get uncomfortable when the love interests have a really strong vitriol for one another. And in this particular story one of the love interests just kept doubling down on his hurtful treatment of the other and that is a deal breaker for me. I can forgive an incident where someone says or does something hurtful because they were flustered or upset or didn't know something. But the repeated cruelty was too much for me. Life is too short to read books that make you unhappy.
I think this book would be great for people that love a strong enemies to lovers dynamic, appreciate really flawed and damaged characters, love the historical London setting with gentleman's clubs and Parliament. It had a great setting and good atmosphere, and I was interested to see what would happen.
