STEM Characters? Check.

Hot neighbor? Check.

Book clubs? Check.

Is this book written for me? Double Check!

I actually went into this book almost knowing nothing except the neighbor part. Enemies to lovers wasn’t even my favorite trope, but this book got me hooked from the start, to think that I read this book in one sitting. It was truly delightful and it somehow resonates with me. I’m not a chemistry major per se, but it was related to it since I majored in food science. And yes, I fell in love with all the beer brewing and crafting stuff, thank you very much!

I loved how Nora and Eli’s relationship clicked from the start. Sure, it started out as a friendly date to prove Nora’s so-called “friends” that she’s indeed date-able, but the chemistry between them was undeniable. Nora and Eli, while not completely polar opposites, have contrasting personalities yet they complement each other perfectly.

What really stood out about this one was that each character was fleshed out and well-developed. Nora and Eli each had their own story arc, including of course the one where they get together, but seeing their characters’ journey along the way was a delight. Especially when it came to Nora forming relationships with other people, like Eli’s sister.

I truly adored this book and I think Sara Rider writes stories straight from the heart. I felt all the warm fuzzy feelings while reading this book, and I’m looking forward to reading more from her and can’t wait to read the first one from this series!
