This was really cute and sweet! I really loved the way Said and Tiwa were rebuilding their relationship through bullying the mayor and organizing against him!! I do think the ~reveal~ at the end about the reason their friendship blew up in the past felt a bit clunky, and didn’t really help me believe the trajectory they were on from friends to enemies to friends to lovers. Overall this was really cute and I had a lot of fun reading it!

This book was an absolute delight! A friends to enemies to lovers structured by Said and Tiwa's POVs and a third, third person narrative. It's funny, full of heart, and second changes - for the characters and their community.
