What's Not to Love by Emily Wibberley, Austin Siegemund-Broka
3.0
Come on academic enemies-to-lovers, I’m rooting for you. I loved Rachel Lynn Solomon’s Today, Tonight, Tomorrow so freaking much.
I like how Wibbroka’s books touch upon different themes surrounding the end of high school, having only read 3 of them so far.Also, I see you Time of Our Lives reference, I see you. This book attacked me on many levels, specifically with Allison. I liked that and I like her drive and how she knew what she wanted in life. The only thing I really liked about Ethan was that he didn’t seem to give a crap about the “romanticized high school memories” which is also like me.
But about Ethan and Allison themselves? Yikes…
Since this is a YA enemies-to-lovers, I knew they would end up together. At the start, I wasn’t rooting for them since their “married couple bickering” was immature and toxic at times. I get their whole competing in grades, extra-curricular activities, and Harvard acceptance, but they would go too far in my opinion and they knew that too. It didn’t help that they or other people had to make the comments or jokes that they fit together regardless. At least there were people who pointed out their toxicity. But you know what? They were cute by the end though.
