The Long Game was such a fun time!

I love Elena Armas’ writing so much, and The Long Game was another great book full of cute banter, lovable characters, and slow burn tension.

⚽️ Cute nicknames
⚽️ Even cuter animals

I will say that one of the reasons I don’t love “enemies” to lovers in contemporary romance is because the characters often don’t spend a lot of time actually liking each other because there has to be the setup of the meet messy, and this book was no exception. I think that the last 40 pages felt a bit rushed, and made the conflict and resolution feel like an afterthought.

This book was pretty much exactly what I’ve come to expect from Elena Armas, and I can’t wait to read what she writes next! 4 stars.
