This was a super cute and cozy ya debut from one of my fav romance authors. Talia was able to write really interesting main characters in such a short novel.

  • Ex best friends 
  • Enemies/academic rivals to friends to lovers
  • Dual pov
  • The wittiest snarkiest banter
  • They annoy each other into love 
  • British
  • Black teen joy
  • Great mental health rep

I do think that because it’s a very character driven book that the two POVs were sometimes hard to distinguish, because they didn't break between chapters and both characters had similar inner dialogues. On audiobook this is obv not be a problem and I would reread this on audiobook!

1/5 🌶️
