This was such a delight from start to finish - I absolutely devoured it! I cried, I laughed, and now I want to read it again.
I adored Elsie. She’s smart & funny, and desperately trying to get a better job that will allow her to stop fake dating as a side hustle. I loved seeing her unlearn her people pleasing and learning to put herself & her needs first.
Enemies/rivals to lovers is one of my favourite tropes, and the rival in this story is excellent. Jack falls first, and falls hard, but Elsie thinks he’s all about sabotaging her & her field, and it does make for some entertaining situations and banter. Their chemistry was so good, and I could easily read more about them.
I also loved the cameo of Olive & Adam, and the mention of Bee. I hope we get to read more in this world!
