I’ve had this ARC sitting in my Kindle for years and I have to wonder if I read it back when I received it what my perception would have been. There’s a strong case of insta-lust and an enemies-to-lovers trope (which I always enjoy) as well as some sad backstories for both main characters. Both Ava and Caleb are in their 30s (30 and 35) but they act a lot younger in my opinion. I felt you could have told me they were 22 and 26 and I would have believed you. I did like that they didn’t go straight into insta-love, and that it did get built on friendship, but I felt a lot of their relationship was unhealthy and wish we could have seen better progression or growth as opposed to how it went.

I received an advanced copy through Netgalley in return for an honest review.
