*3.5

A nice little palate cleansing RomCom.

There were several things that were so funny and relatable, and it was really just hilariously cute. Annie going down a Tik Tok Rabbit Hole when she should be getting things done, Liam letting loose in the car and singing along to One Direction, plus a whole bunch of other stuff that I'm forgetting to add here.

If you're looking for a relatable, funny, Grumpy x Sunshine, ONE BED TROPE kind of book then this is the one for you! Also, there's no big miscommunication fight, so that's also a plus!

Thank you to Dreamscape Media and Netgalley for my ALC!

It honestly took me a bit to get into this one. And there was a lot going on so I felt like I was a step or two behind everything basically the whole way through. But it was still interesting! I was never quite sure who I could trust, which I think was the point. I didn't realize this was a 5 book series (although from looking at it, it seems as if some of the books branch off and follow different characters, which is nice... Well, maybe it's nice. I guess I'll find out as I continue on with the series

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for gifting me an audio book to listen to

I appreciate the fact that they didn't have a big blow up misunderstanding fight that led to a breakup and then a whole bunch of moping around.

I also appreciate the fact that Ryan was a little bit dishonest about what he was doing when he went to checkout the restaurant, felt real bad about it, and then TEXTED JUNE AND TOLD HER WHAT HE WAS ACTUALLY DOING and apologized for not just being straight up with her in the first place, instead of hiding it and having it revealed in some dramatic fashion. Can we get more of that please?

And when June was all overwhelmed because stupid Noah was trying to get under her skin and she was feeling insecure because she realized just what a big deal Ryan actually was and ran away... guess what happened? She realized how silly she was being and that she reallllly liked Ryan, and went back!

That was, like, a breath of fresh air to me.

Did I find their tricks on each other to be silly, especially since

1. They seemed a bit extreme and
2. because they were literally full grown adults acting like elementary school kids.

Yes. But that obviously didn't detract from my enjoyment of the novel. This was a fun fake enemies to lovers book (I say fake, because although they acted liked they didn't like each other, they were both crazy about the other person and had been for quite some time.

I also loved the family dynamics of this book!

It was a fast and fun read, and I would 10 out of 10 recommend for you to give it a try.
