3.5
I gave this book 3.5/5 Stars. To start off, the protagonist Annika was was quite obnoxious. She always believed she was right and refused to see what was right in front of her. When we first started the book it did seem like she was going to be a "Not Like Other Girls" character but thankfully, that was not the case. Despite her being obnoxious most of the time, I wouldn't say she was an unlikeable character. She was ambitious and did her very best to achieve her goals. She had a good friendship going with her best friend June and she was very passionate about what she believed in.
The fact that the third act breaks up happened in the next chapter after Annika and Hudson got together just proved how unnecessary it was.
The writing style was easily accessible, the descriptions were well-placed and easy to visualise and the characters were fleshed out and unique in their own way

- Plot- or character-driven? Plot
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
Slow. Slow. Slow.
Would have benefited from Hudson's POV, but it's all in Annika's POV.
Enemies to Lovers/2nd Chance with each other type (just talk to each other)
