I had such high hopes for this book. I loved the modern spin on a classic romance and the humor was perfect for me. I saw that some readers disliked Ari and Josh, but I actually really enjoyed their flawed personalities. Although I enjoyed the banter between them and their charged chemistry, the conflict that arose between the two leads felt forced and spiteful. They both said things that crossed lines and it made it hard for me to root for them in the last bit of the book. They just seemed like such drastically different people and it was really hard for me to imagine them together realistically. As the book continued, the later time skips made the pacing of their romance feel disjointed and it was hard for me to see their relationship as anything but emotionally volatile and toxic. They just seemed so incompatible. I think Ari and Josh could be together for like three spicy years then have a messy divorce.
