Aggie the Horrible vs. Max the Pompous Ass by Lisa Wells
2.0
Thanks to Entangled Publishing for providing this ARC via NetGalley in exchange of an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This story fell flat for me, unfortunately. The premise sounded good and I excepted a funny and flirty office romance with a bit of traditional not friends-but getting there-to lovers (so this is not rivals- or enemies to lovers) but in the end it all just felt bland and nothing too special really.
Aggie and Max are supposed to hate each other after that their grandmothers have schemed to have them work together, but it's more insta-lust than anything remotely like hate or dislike. However, they are well-written and Aggie is definitely not boring. She is the comic-relief of the book, sometimes a bit too much though, and I found myself smiling several times throughout the story.
The book was not my cup of tea, at least not now, because it had too many misunderstandings and miscommunication was the key to the disaster (and not just a few times and I absolutely hate the use of that to make things "interesting"). Add everything up and I didn't really feel any interest in the characters or the story as I had hoped.
