bandherbooks 's review for:

Her Best Worst Mistake by Sarah Mayberry
5.0

So a beloved Twitter friend asked for a searing enemies-to-lovers romance, where the love interests clearly LOATHE one another but also clearly need to bang it out. Well, Queen Sarah MacLean offered up Her Best Worst Mistake and holy shit this is perfection.

I've highlighted over 50 passages from this story, and all I can really say is that I adore it. I need to do another re-read or you can follow along with our live-Tweet with #BestWorstBuddyRead.

Also, I really appreciated Violet's worry about how her falling for Martin would affect her best friendship with Elizabeth (who Martin is engaged to at the beginning of the story - don't worry they are completely broken up before any of the romance begins). This is a difficult trope, and it is handled SUPERBLY.

CW: there is a fatphobic comment near the end of the story that was just really dumb and unnecessary.
