Let's Call a Truce by Amy Buchanan
4.0
If you’re looking for a book that serves up humor, heart, and some chaos, Let’s Call a Truce is your new best friend!
The story kicks off with the fiery clash between Ben and Juliana, reminiscent of a rom-com where the enemies excel at being, well, enemies. Ben, the self-proclaimed supervillain of Juliana’s life, disapproves of her existence with a killer smirk. Meanwhile, Juliana is navigating her return to work after seven years as a stay-at-home mom and coping with the loss of her husband—all while battling her new mortal enemy. Will they fall in love or combust like a supernova? Spoiler: it’s a wild ride!
Juliana’s journey is relatable and raw, filled with bittersweet reminders of what was. Yet, she forges ahead, determined to build a new life for herself and her two daughters.
Her level of pettiness is both inspiring and hilarious—her snippy banter with Ben is top-tier entertainment!
Her besties—Asia, Dani, and Gabriela—bring essential support, reminding us how vital friendship is during tough times.
What I loved most was the transformation from enemies to an office crush filled with teasing, flirting, and swoon-worthy kisses. Ben isn’t just a smirk; he’s genuinely attentive to Juliana and her kids. Their relationship exemplifies understanding can coexist with boundaries.
This book beautifully explores whether someone can have two great loves. For Juliana, the answer is a resounding yes. Her journey with Ben shows that love can be complicated and scary but oh-so-sweet when everything falls into place.
In short, Let’s Call a Truce is a touching debut that had me smiling and laughing. If you’re ready for a story rich in emotional depth and humor, grab this book—you won’t regret it!
