Finally an enemies to lovers book I enjoyed!! Enemies to lovers is one of my least favorite tropes, but every once in a while one sounds so good that I have to try it out, like rival true crime podcasters having to work together and then falling in love, and I’m glad I did! Their banter was so funny! I actually enjoyed listening to them argue! And the conversations about being a creator, especially a Black creator, had some things that I could relate to and also some things that I needed to hear. I do wish that the story had a little more depth, but since it’s so short, I can see why it was the way it was. I’m excited to read more by this author!
