Thank you to Mazey Eddings and Macmillian for the ARC of this book.
For me this is a 4.5/5 stars.
General Description: Indira's life is turned upside down a month before her brother's wedding, and Jude's life starts to settle down after months in warzones. The frenemies find themselves both crashing at Indira's brothers' house (Collin) and they come up with a plan to pretend to be each others' wedding dates: Indira gets to shove it in the face of her ex, and Jude can escape all the noise without being asked where he's going.
The good:
- The emphasis on therapy. I truly love when books have fantastic mental health representation and this book has it for me.
- The frenemies to lovers vibes. I thought this was done so well!
- The situations they were put into and how they learned about each other I thought was done really well. I could not put this book down.
- I also love most of the side characters (the ones you're supposed to) and I hope we get more in this universe!
The reason for a .5 star loss: there are 3 spicy scenes in this book. 2 I thought were well time/placed, but the middle one was not necessary in my opinion and took away from the flow of the book. however, this is my opinion and I am not a big spicy book person.
In summary: This was a fantastic read and I can't wait to read more Mazey Eddings!
