The Hook-Up Experiment by Emma Hart
2.0

Mehhhhhh. I’m so disappointed in this one. I quite liked The Roommate Agreement, even if it was standard trope-y romance. I love when romance has back story and isn’t insta-love, so friends to lovers and enemies to lovers tend to be my faves, so this seemed like it would be perfect. But it felt unreasonably easy - like literally nothing happened but suddenly they knew they were in love, the “hate” bit was almost immediately cleared up, and there was a really uncomfortable mental health centered scene (they used OCD AND crazy to talk about her desire for things to be clean) which was enough to drop it from a nothing-special-three down to a 2.
