Okay so initially I did not plan to order Undercover Bromance alongside Bromance Book Club (in case the hype was too much and they turned out to be terrible, which thank god was not the case, they’re excellent), but low and behold, it arrived on my doorstep in what I can only call a stuck-at-home fugue-state induced order. But I’m so happy I unintentionally ordered it because the second I put down the first one, I picked up Undercover Bromance!
It was just as funny and just as sweet with a fantastic ending, but even snarkier and more sarcastic, because Liv and Mack are just two ever-so-slightly jaded people who love to live in denial. However there are some much heavier, darker overtones than Thea and Gavin’s romance — I want to make sure that everyone is aware there is a big TW for sexual assault and harassment and domestic violence, because those are things I haven’t personally seen in other reviews. Regardless, it’s a great story, especially if you love a good enemies-to-lovers plot!
I didn’t love it quite as much as Bromance Book Club (in large part due to those heavier themes, which enrich the storytelling and world-building for sure, but made it less of an “escape” than the first one) but it’s still one of my favorite books I’ve read this year and I’m very much looking forward to Adams’ next book!
