This book had me captivated right from the very beginning, I absolutely flew through this book. 

This book follows Nick and Noah, both individuals have gone through some sort of trauma during their childhood and now have found themselves step brother and sister due to their parents getting married. Nicks father is rich, and Noah and her mother Rafaela have come from a less privileged background. Noah has to learn how to adapt to her new life and deal with everything she knows being practically burnt to the ground, whilst also fighting new feelings that are bubbling under the surface for her angsty, moody step brother Nick. 

I absolutely adored this book, the characters were so loveable and funny! The tension between these two was EVERYTHING. Nicks character development was honourable! He really grew, in the little space of two months, to be someone Noah truly needed and deserved. I love the both of them. 

Genre: YA Fiction, Romance 
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 
Spice: 🌶️ (it is pretty fade to black apart from one instance) 

Tropes:
🩷Enemies to lovers
🩷Forced proximity 
🩷Forbidden Romance

Starter, the whole stepsiblings romantic relationship is already weird itself, I tried to put it aside but I genuinely can’t, knowing they live under the same rooftop, and them mentioning it every seconds. Second, I expected so so much from the book because I LOVED the movie. Sadly it did not reach my expectations? I know books will have an even more detailed plot that movies won’t include, but most of what goes on in the book have never even been mentioned in the movie, like at all. So it was like two completely different things for me 😭 But I wouldn’t say the book is that horrible, there is some scenes where I do enjoyed reading it !

It was an enjoyable read but there were definitely some editing mistakes made when it was translated into English. 

I would still recommend checking out this book and the movie though. The movie on Prime is especially awesome.
