Dating You Hating You - Christina Lauren
3.75/5 ⭐️
This was a really sweet book! It took me a bit to get into the start of the book, but at the second half it definitely picked up and sucked me in. The banter between Evie and Carter is really fun, and I love how toe-to-toe they are. I really liked both of the characters as people, and they were both just super smart and strong characters. While this was a romance, the romance is a bit more of a subplot to the professional struggle and power plays within the office. I love the way that it really emphasized and shed light on unequal treatment and standards for women in the workplace! This was just a very funny, nice and entertaining book, not my all time favorite read, but would recommend!
Synopsis:
Despite the odds against them from an embarrassing meet-awkward at a mutual friend’s Halloween party, Carter and Evie immediately hit it off. Even the realization that they’re both high-powered agents at competing firms in Hollywood isn’t enough to squash the fire.
But when their two agencies merge—causing the pair to vie for the same position—all bets are off. What could have been a beautiful, blossoming romance turns into an all-out war of sabotage. Carter and Evie are both thirtysomething professionals—so why can’t they act like it?
Can Carter stop trying to please everyone and see how their mutual boss is really playing the game? Can Evie put aside her competitive nature long enough to figure out what she really wants in life? Can their actor clients just be something close to human?
I feel like I’ve been reading some heavier/more toxic intense books and romance, so a more wholesome and chill books was a great palate cleanser!
