What a perfect time to get into a cute queer rom-com none other than pride month!

Okay admittedly it took me a while to get into this, I felt like the beginning may have lacked a bit of the 'OMGosh you need to keep reading' factor but then a few chapters later I was fully invested in Emmy's love story.

I absolutely found it so endearing how naive she was when it came to not realising how much Mae was into her. Her character was so well written, and her insecurities both in the acting world and in the dating world were literally screaming off the page. I enjoyed all the characters apart from Alice I found came across as controlling and honestly really desperate.

The book was paced well and was full of funny and cringe-worthy moments, which definitely added to my enjoyment.
Overall, it was a cute enemies to lovers romance thay I'd highly recommend to anyone wanting to read a queer romance.

I received an ARC of this book at no cost from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

My Own Worst Enemy
By Lily Lindon

Emmy Clooney (no relation), a recent drama school graduate, is currently working at her dad's pizzeria until she has her lucky break.

She has tried for numerous casting roles, and with her education and good looks surely, she shouldn't have any trouble... until she meets Mae Jones (the same casting type as Emmy- short haired lesbian!)
Mae is also charming, talented and very, very hot which means that Emmy will go head to head for all their casting roles.

Let the competition begin and the best woman win or will their rivalry take centre stage and swiftly turn to romance?
You'll have to read and find out!
