I really enjoyed this book, I love books like this, where there is a lot of give and take. There were moments in this book where I was embarrassed to the teeth, but there were other times, I was like, this is amazing. The chemistry between the two main characters is off the charts, even when they are at each others throats. Sawyer sure does come off as a douchebag at first, yet, I get it. He was horribly embarrassed at the start of his all important high school years, and to make himself feel better he lashed out.
Blair has her own set of issues, and one of them is not being honest, she does it because she is afraid. To make this story more interesting, Blair comes back for her senior year hot as all get out, and Sawyer can't believe she is his ex best friend. This is such a great story, with characters that just won't get out of their own ways to figure it out, but who does when they are a teenager and know everything? Told in dual pov, this is a great read if you like more mature YA.

I’m a huge fan of Carrie Aaron & I’ve loved all of her books. This one is no different. It was a deeply touching, profound story about two people who were once the best of friends. Events happened and they became estranged but not without being awful to each other for years. They are drawn back to each other and from there things take off. Can they move beyond the actions of their past or will it continuously pull them back?

Some of my favorite books are friends turned to enemies, turned lovers and Foes & Cons was just that! Carrie definitely knocked it out of the park with this book and it was so enjoyable. I loved Blair from the start and although Sawyer was a jerk, you couldn't help but fall in love with him as well. This was such a quick and fun read and will not disappoint you if you pick it up!

I really love bully books and this one was great! I loved Blair and Sawyer! I loved how these two had a childhood together, and then watching them navigating through their senior year of high school...and coming to terms with what had happened in the past. I loved this so much!!

Not really a fan of bully romance but I was surprised how this was very light on ”bully”.
Yes, there was a typical high school drama where two people prank each other all year long. Or months, I don’t know, I forgot.
I liked the heroine and how she knew she is different than other girls her age. She was very mature as she wanted to spent her summer holidays in Haiti helping others. I did find her naive at times.
Sawyer… well, I wish he would talk to her first so this whole drama wouldn’t be necessary. But after she humiliated him two years ago he swore revenge. Actually, this conflict was on both because Blaire could have talked to him after that pros and cons list which was btw, really hurtful for a sixteen year old girl who is self conscious anyway.
Now that I think about it, I’m changing my 4.5 stars to 3.5-4 stars. I read the book pretty fast but I wish I liked both characters a little more. Let’s just say that you can see by how they behaved it’s a YA novel (I also don’t read YA romance novels anymore but I like Carrie’s writing style so I gave it a shot).
⭐⭐⭐⭐
