Some gripes:
- The audio version should have had two narrators. I didn't feel that Tim Paige distinguished between Oliver and Gavin enough, and since it's dual POV, that got a bit confusing over time.
- This is not enemies-to-lovers no matter how it's marketed.
Insta-love is a way more accurate trope for this book, even if it took them a while to figure out that's what it is. - Also, lots of reviews say that this is Roy Kent and Ted Lasso if they were gay and I strongly disagree. This is fan fiction about S1 Roy Kent and S3 Jamie Tartt if they were gay.
