When I picked this book I was not expecting to like it so much. Honestly, the only reason I decided to read this book now was because it was part of a group read... I don't think I would choose, on my own, this book any time soon. Ended up to be my favorite read of the month and the only book I was eager to read every time I put it down.
The story is very cliché, a "enemies-to-lovers" romance, nothing new. But this book is written in such a funny way, I laugh so hard, I felt sorry for the characters, rooted for them, got angry when they did... I really felt this story. That's what makes a book memorable: the fact that you felt close to the characters. It's not a superficial reading, I really connected with them.
Although this is not my favorite genre, this book is so light and cheerful (despite all the awful things that happen throughout) that made me happy. And that was just what I needed.
