I hate the enemies to lovers trope, and the kid version ("nemesis to friends," as Galaxy Jones puts it) is just as bad in my opinion.

BUT.

I ended up really enjoying it. When they got past all the banter and when Galaxy got her head out of her butt, it was a super sweet story of how to grapple with change, both in your world and in yourself.
