A true Enemies to lovers contemporary romance. 

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC of Not in My Book! 

Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🌶️🌶️
Character Development: 💖💖💖💖

Characters that seem to absolutely hate each, rival and war with each other; are then forced to work together to write a love story for the writing workshop masters class they are in. 

First I appreciate that months go by in this book. Not weeks but months. While there is instant attraction between the characters, it takes a lot of time and work for them to come together. 

The act of writing the book together is so so amazing. They flow themselves in the characters they are writing and learn a lot about themselves along the way. And OH MY GODS when they co write the spicy in their book. Oh it’s is so so so good. I love that parts of the book they write are in this book. 

Aiden is such a flawed character and I really appreciate that he slowing becomes more and more open about how and why he struggles with romance and love. While Rosie learns that her expectations may be too perfect for anyone to live up too. 

I totally swooned over Aiden planning dates and being all bossy in bed. 

This book has a 3rd Act break up but it works here. There is a lot of sadness in the book. But the hope and growth and tenderness is so well done. I had total hearts in my eyes so many times as these two characters grew together. 

If this book was a Taylor song it would be: “imgonnagetyouback”
