📙 Review: This was so much fun and it hit so many tropes I love. Enemies to lovers. Slow burn. Buttoned up guy in the streets, dirty talker in the sheets. Romance novel-loving FMC. Forced proximity via collaboration. There were jokes. There was pining. Things got spicy. Anyways it was a damn delight. My only critique is that there were a few small time jumps where I wish we had gotten more info on what went on and how the relationship progressed during that missing time.

🎧 Audio: Single female narrator for single FMC POV. She did a good job with modulating her voice to distinguish what was writing versus dialogue and even what was MMC's writing versus FMC's.

🌶️ Spice: 4/5 When I say this man knows his way around a "good girl"... 🥵

🏳️‍🌈✊ Representation: FMC is half Peruvian and working class. MMC is white and well off. FMC has a few Latine friends and acquaintances. I can't remember if any of the side characters are queer?
