I've heard a lot of good things about this book and... it's a disappointment.  The enemies-to-lovers trope wasn’t incredible, I didn't even feel like it was central to the story (unlike the fake dating one). The characters were just rude to each other which is quite annoying. 

Lina was a bit childish and Aaron (who I liked at the beginning) completely changed his personality at 50% of the book. Everything was ✨miscommunication✨ and the difficulties Lina and Aaron had to face were swept away without real solutions. 

The smut was weird and made me uncomfortable and the end was meh. I think the “sexism storyline” was too superficial, while it would have been really interesting if it has been explored with more depth. While the beginning was long, the end was completely rushed.
