General Description: Molly and Jude grew up across the street from each other. Their rivalry continued for years, until they went to college. But now, both in their early twenties, Molly and Jude are assigned to the task of finding a venue for their parents joint anniversary party. The older siblings on both side are depending on them. Molly and Jude go back to their own pranking ways, but when truce is called, other feelings are allowed to come through. Will Molly and Jude be able to build a relationship, or will the pranks of their past pull them apart?
The goods:
- I really like the dichotomy between Jude and Molly. I can see how people wouldn't like the stark dynamic as if it seems immature, but still, I enjoyed it.
- There are ups and downs that to me felt realistic and weren't necessarily drawn out.
- I liked all the side character and the depth of story we specifically get from Molly's job subplot.
- I appreciated the anniversary party not being the end of the book. You get so much more in this cute rom-com!
the loss of a star: The spice was not very in depth./well fleshed out. I felt the scenes were quick and honestly took away from the relationship Molly and Jude were building. Definitely not the spiciest book.
Overall: If you're looking for a cute rom com and can look past the spice, you'll enjoy this!
