I breezed through this book. It was easy and sexy, emotional and funny, but also reflective and heartbreaking. I could relate to Lilah's character and the difficulty she had with opening herself up to love.
Will They or Won't They lived up to its name, taking Lilah and Shane from enemies to lovers to enemies to friends to lovers to enemies to everything in between. It portrayed so accurately the difficulty that so many people face in being able to open themselves up and trust other people. This story was a rollercoaster of emotions. Yes, it was frustrating to read at times because we didn't know if we were coming and going but that is what made it so real.

I enjoyed the characters and the development of the story. However, I didn't love the frequent flashbacks, especially since I felt like they were out of nowhere and kind of just stuck in a random place in the book. Overall, I'd recommend for a slow-burn second-chance romance.

Enjoyable read! I felt it lagged a bit in the back third of the book, with some areas of the conflict being drawn out too long, and the ending feeling like it wrapped itself up too quickly. The writing itself is gray and the dialogue was especially fun.

i absolutely love a breakup/makeup story so this was super up my alley. the intimacy between the two felt real and intense, and it felt worth it when it was resolved. overall i did feel like the pacing could have been drawn out a little more, as i felt like it lost a bit of steam in the end, but i think it's genre-typical. i did also get the feeling like there were some missing scenes (like being shown the rehearsal of a pivotal TV scene, but only told about the actual shooting of it), but nothing that took me out of the story too much. i really appreciated getting to know supporting characters more, like the cast of the TV show and shane's family. a cute HEA which I like, so altogether a nice read!

Ava Wilder is a master at writing complicated relationships. The vitriol exchanged between our love interests was tough to stomach at times, but boy was the turn that much sweeter when things got better.
