knitplanjess 's review for:

The Unbalanced Equation by H.L. Macfarlane
3.0

Normally I love the enemies to lovers trope - what is better than witty and snarky banter, mixed with sexual frustration.

However, I really struggled with loving The Unbalanced Equation. Their relationship felt more toxic hatred to toxic relationship than enemies to lovers. With the exception of Liz & Tom, Jenny & Jim, the characters were easy to forget and difficult to connect with.

I know that this book got a lot of love, but unfortunately it fell flat for me. I couldnt' get past the toxicity of the characters. If it wasn't for H. L. Macfarlane's writing style (that kept me captivated), I would have only given it two stars, but it deserved an extra star for the writing style!

Thank you to NetGalley & BooksGoSocial for this ARC for my 100% honest review.
