Cried and Laughed!
Sometimes you buy a book recommended from booktok and expect it to be overrated, boring and a waste of time. This is not that book.
Seegars manages to write a compelling story with an enemies to lovers trope that is so refreshing and sweet to read. You fall in love with each character and their flaws and feel a concoction of emotions (anger, joy, tense) as you flow through the well thought out story.
However, at times I found the dialogue too un relatable or cringey, which would put me off the otherwise amazing description and scene setting going on. I loved the chemistry and the fact the book is written via two perspectives! It truly was a joy to read and almost wishes you could carry on reading about how their lives end up and what goes on in the future.
