This was a sweet young adult/ new adult rom com that will be perfect for when summer rolls around.

I loved reading this. The banter between the two characters was great. I loved the fact that Benny realized he liked Reese early on. Kind of a spoiler, but cover and plot gives the fact that this is a romance away.

I liked the fact that he was honest and just tried to win her affections over.

The book wasn't really enemies to lovers. The enemies part was only a bit one sided with the competition for the internship.

Some things I didn't like was how obsessed Reese got with the online comments and such. It seemed like she focused a little bit too much on that aspect but I could still relate to her on why she had misgivings about that.

I also wasn't a fan of the miscommunication part.

Overall, I did enjoy this book and I thought it was a sweet, adorable romance. I definitely recommend it for those that want something fun and light hearted. It was a four star rating.

Thank you Netgalley and publishers for allowing me the chance to read and review this book.

This book was not for me at all. I skimmed most of it, if I am being honest. Reese....Reese was a lot. She is that feminist that ruins it for all other feminists. And I hate saying that because A) angry feminists rants are kind of my thing and B) that is the whole point of this book but she goes about it all wrong and never does anything about the sexism she experiences except to rant more and cry. She is a weak character because she chooses to be not because of Benny. She spends the majority of the book attacking Benny for things that aren't his fault or just being a bitch to him because he is the competition. I feel the author was trying to go about this enemies to lover trope everyone loves these days, but making one of the characters be rude just to make that trope work, is not how the trope works.

Internship right out of high school and talking about getting a culinary internship even though she wants to go into marketing? I’m lost
