I adore the chemistry and the way it draws you in! Fantastic read! 🙌🏼

Quite a page turner. No dull parts yet still light

Sometimes I had to go back and re read to understand who was speaking. But loved the characters

I loved this book so much. Where to start? Maybe with the fact that the main character struggles with a heart defect and depression. I could find myself relating to her and her impulsive actions. I loved the humor and how the dynamics worked between Darcy, Jaime, and Tom. Seeing the other reviews compare this book to The Hating Game infuriates me. Of course this book isn’t going to be the same. That’s the point. You start over with new characters, a new plot, and the author’s wonderful sense of humor. I laughed, I cried, and I was angry during some moments. That is how a book should make you feel!

I absolutely LOVED The hating Game. And I had such high hopes for this book. But it just seemed rushed to put out, not developed, and just overall disjointed. I really wanted to love it. But it was hard to get through.

Very different from The Hating Game although the tropes are the same. She’s quirky and running from intimacy, he’s the strong/silent type who keeps saving her & her brother from themselves. She annoyed me with her selfishness and self indulgence. Still, I somehow kept reading it. Preferred THG because the characters were balanced by equivalent job descriptions despite their personal differences. This felt like she & her brother treated Tom badly despite saying that he was a sibling of sorts. It was painful to learn that he’d been suffering because he’s loved her for years and she knew it and then was sleeping with everyone and his cousin across the world including practically being raped to escape her feelings for him?!? Please. Then he asks her not to tell her brother about them until the house is done and she dimes him out after 30 minutes. Nice. It’s a mistake to label this a romance. It’s more of a LONG therapy session with a “happy” ending where she’s enormously smug because everyone can tell their sex life is off the charts (she loves that construction workers and elderly cruise passengers are watching them mack on each other). She finally(!) allows him to have the first home EVER that he can call his own instead of SLEEPING ON THE GROUND IN A TENT with her at building sites because she thinks it’s edgy/fun! She’s selfish and self involved, remember? If there had been more than one sex scene, it might have made the therapy session worth it. But there was only one and that one was extremely tame to boot. Meh. Proof once again that the nicest guys always seem to end up with the most awful gals.

Female protagonist can be unlikeable at times. Male protagonist is cliched protector with a heart of gold that missed his shot the first time around. Not on par with the Hating Game, which I’d rate a 4. If you’re between the two, do not pick this one.

It was good!

Completely bland and uninteresting. Enjoyed Hating Game but this was an absurd waste of money.

Great read!
