Tropes: Enemies-to-Lovers, Coworkers to Lovers, Sibling's Ex-Girlfriend

Can you even call it a miscommunication story when

the communication is SO intentional? Andrew, Max's brother, texts him and thanks him for convincing him not to marry Lina, and it turns out that Max never actually did such a thing? And Andrew lets his younger brother believe this for years? What a garbage man.

Don't go into this book expecting a slow-burn romance. That's what I was told and it's definitely not true. They're clearly into each other (and are pretty expressive of their mutual attraction) pretty early on. It doesn't even feel like a spoiler to say

they hook up by the halfway point of the book

(but I'll tag the spoiler just in case).

This book has supporting characters that feel fully thought out with great personalities, shenanigans galore, and it doesn't feel like heterosexual nonsense like so many straight romances are [To clarify: there's PLENTY of nonsense, it's just not because they're straight lmao].
