This enemies to lovers in the workplace story is so much more than your typical romcom. Does everyone love enemies to lovers? Yes. Is the banter great? Yes. Did it have me smiling ear to ear and laughing out loud at times? Also, yes.
But this story goes beyond the typical plot of enemies to lovers and touches on some topics you don’t see as often as others.
With a South African setting, Margaret, a plus-size female MC, is forced to take a holiday with her workplace enemy- all while trying to navigate her feelings of grief. Margaret is recently divorced, lost her father, and struggling with her anxiety and identity. This story takes you on a journey of a woman who is rediscovering herself and finding out that she might just be worthy of love after all.

This was such a cute read. A light, fun-loving and feeI good romance with great characters, a catchy storyline, and a dreamy backdrop. It also had just the right amount of emotions throughout including multiple laugh out loud funny moments along with the mention of some serious topics, making me tear up a bit.
Everything you could want in a romance! The only thing I didn’t like was how long it took Margaret to get her s*** together

I received an advance review copy from W by Wattpad on NetGalley for my honest review. Again, adorable cover, enemies to lovers and forced proximity will get my every. single. time! And this one did not disappoint!
I really enjoyed this sassy and sweet story by Jo Watson! The FMC, Margaret, is a curvy and clever journalist who doesn’t take crap from anyone. And Jagger—God bless him—is her new-ish “charming” co-worker who gets under her skin. They end up together on vacation and queue the magic.
I love Maggie & Jagger’s witty banter, their journey to love, and all the antics along the way. And you’ll fall for the supporting cast as well—parents full of personality and a rock star bff, just to name a few.
Trigger warning: it’s not all fun and games—Margaret is dealing with serious loss, of her father and her marriage—all in the last year. Having lost my parents not too long ago I did have to work through some emotions during this read, but I will say it was cathartic.
If you love a good rom-com with a dash of wanderlust, “if Christina Lauren and Emily Henry had a baby…” I highly recommend you add this one to your TBR—out October 23rd!

Parts of this book resonated so much with me as a divorcee in my 30’s and it was honestly hilarious in places seeing it from the outside. I really liked the MC and the love interest their love hate relationship kept me amused the whole way through. Solid 4 star read
