Academic rivals-to-lovers done right. After reading this book I kind of get the hype around this book.
Books with enemies to lovers tropes are angsty and tense as it is but when it is done in an academic setting, all of the emotions are doubled over. I love the character development of Sadie from people pleaser to no-more-taking crap. The banter and competition between Sadie and Julius were fun to read. Also, that medal scene was my favourite. Love how he wins it for her. ðŸ˜
Another scene that touched my heart was how her mother tells her to let things be as it is. That she doesn't have to be perfect all the time and that all she wants for her is to be happy and okay. That was kinda emotional.
