I really liked the first book in this duology a LOT, and was hoping that this one would give me the same feel, but unfortunately it never really hit. The pranks were fun, the chemistry was there, but it all felt kinda forced - and the enemies to lovers part of it was especially forced. I spent a good portion of the book not understanding the origin of the animosity between the two MCs, and by the time it's explained (which was a valid explanation) it had been too long in coming to have the impact it was supposed to.
I still loved the writing, and I loved how real the characters felt - but the length of the enemies to lovers part kinda drove me bonkers. (Also it's pretty insta-love-y as soon as the enemies part is done, for those that aren't a huge fan of that.)
I'll definitely keep reading Sarah Adams, because her books feel like a great big hug and I genuinely enjoy the way I feel reading these characters' stories - but this one wasn't my favorite.

Drew and Jessie's relationship developed so beautifully and especially Jessie's POV's made this so much more than your typical enemies-to-lovers.
They had pranks, they had fights, they had cuddles and kisses, it was something of everything and at the end I was just constantly "aww-ing" 🥰
