I loved Emma Hart's "Frenemies," a funny, charming, and sweet second chance romance featuring likeable, well-developed main characters. The male lead character, Mason, was endearing, sexy, and a great dad. Basically, he was the whole package, every girl's dream boyfriend, and I can't believe the female lead character, Immy, was able to resist him for as long as she did! In addition, Mason's relationship with his daughter Maya's mom, Fran, was really lovely. It was refreshing to see a depiction of a healthy co-parenting relationship rather than one where the two sides were constantly at odds. Maya was an adorable little girl, and I'm sure that was mostly because her parents worked so well together to make her needs their top priority.

The female lead character, Imogen or Immy for short, was a lot of fun even if she was a bit hot-tempered at times. She was very good with Mason's daughter, and I liked that she took Maya's feelings into consideration before jumping into a new relationship with Mason. She may also have been using Maya as an excuse because she was scared that Mason would hurt her again the way he did in college, but I could tell that she genuinely cared about Maya and was afraid that she would be hurt if things between Immy and Mason didn't work out.

Immy and Mason's prank war was totally juvenile but tremendously amusing. They were like kids pulling each other's hair to get attention because they refused to just come out and admit that they liked each other. I also loved Immy's matchmaking Grandma Jen; she was completely outrageous, but unapologetically herself, and I want to be just like her when I grow up. The conversations Jen had with her friends during their "book club" meetings were absolutely hysterical, especially the one involving nipple clamps.

I also enjoyed getting to know Immy's cousin/BFF, Hannah. I look forward to reading more about her in the next book, along with Isaac the hot British vet, and of course, more Grandma Jen!
