✨MINI ARC REVIEW✨
I haven’t felt this good about a book in such a long time! (Not including series continuations that I’ve read recently). Right from the beginning this book pulled me in and it didn’t let me go!
This book gives off “The Hating Game” vibes and I love the rivals-to-lovers storyline that we get between our FMC, Rosie, and our MMC, Aiden. Right off the bat they are at each others throats and the TENSION is so delicious. Their chemistry is screaming off the page and I couldn’t wait for the shoe to drop.
They are forced to work together to write a book that caters to both of their strengths after a particular nasty verbal sparring session in class where they were almost kicked out. Rosie loves romances and Aiden hates them, preferring literary fiction. They have to work together to mesh the two genres into a romance without a HEA.
The banter that comes from their arguements over what to write and how the plot should go brings some interesting moments that somehow find its way into the book they are writing. The author brings an interesting literary device into the story by letting us read the book our couple is working on. TWO BOOKS IN ONE!!
As the sexual storyline starts to build in their book, it builds between them in the most delicious way. Teaming up to write a sex scene brings an especially hot moment between our couple and I didn’t want to put the book down.
I have ZERO complaints about this book and I have found my newest favorite Contemporary couple. This book is, in my opinion, a masterpiece and I recommend this to EVERYONE who wants a cute contemporary romance to read.
Thank you to @netgalley and @alcovepress for gifting me this ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts.
