It was a little difficult to get into at the beginning. I don’t like the brand name dropping so the mention of Peloton so often started to annoy me 😂 also didn’t enjoy all the made up words are so cringey - powling, smout, smirting, scowting. 

Nora is basically Amanda from The Holiday (I love that movie and that character)! I fell in love with Nora and Charlie. The love of books and reading, trying to find a sense of belonging, being organized, and being parentified by your parents was all so relatable!

I read this in two days which is very fast for me!! The banter has me blushing and giggling, this is why enemies/rivals to lovers is my fave trope-THE WITTY BANTER AND JOKES ARE ADORABLE 😍🥹

I did not want to put this down, I had to force myself to set it aside because stupid responsibilities. The last chapters had me sobbing 😭 Even despite the rough start, I loved reading this so much that by the 50 page mark on, the “negatives” don’t even affect my rating lol Henry does it again and I can’t wait to read more from her!!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)
