I've heard amazing stuff about this book and needless to say, I did enjoy it. I loved the constant banter (even after the relationship began) which you don't see often. I also loved the main characters and appreciated their character development over the course of the book. I also loved the wording and conversations both character had with each other, I'm happy to admit that there were moments (more than I count) where I found myself having to physically put the book down to grin or laugh. The relationship was adorable and I found this book to be more wholesome than expected. Great stuff aside, I didn't love the lgbqt+ representation in this novel. I found a lot of common stereotypes incorporated into it and a lot of harmful comments about "wanting to be lesbian", which is extremely tone deaf and was irritating to read. This being said, I do recommend this novel to anyone interested in a lighthearted nemisis's to lovers.
