The switch between Maxim's first pov and Alessias's third pov was a bit confusing. I didn't feel like there was much plot and the little plot there was was handled within two pages near the end. I didn't think this book was needed, it could have been more a novella or extended epilogue to the first book.

At first I thought this book was a fiction, FMC finds herself journey, kind of book. Which, kinda! I didnt realize it was all based on true incidents and I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would! Some reflective thoughts that I liked:
•what would YOU enjoy doing today 
•when is there a good time to detach and be still
•I will not harbour unhealthy thoughts anymore
•acknowledge disruptive thoughts and let them go
•hold old do you feel rather than hold old are you

It was the perfect read that I needed to read at this point in my life.

You had me at "Jim and Pam inspired". This book was so cute and just gave you warm fuzzies and swoony feels throughout. I loved the coworkers/friends to lovers dynamic and loved the supporting characters as well! I also appreciate main characters that aren't afraid to let their inner nerd out. This book just left a smile on my face reading it throughout and I really enjoyed it.

This book vaguely reminded me of Beach Read by Emily Henry and I wasnt a huge fan of that one.. I don't know, just didn't capture my attention. It was kind of fake dating? but also neighbors trope. I feel like it was pretty fast moving. I did appreciate the veteran ptsd rep and how it was handled!

I liked the workplace romance/coworkers aspect and could relate to both main characters being workaholics but liked that they allowed themselves to let go with each other. Very lighthearted, easygoing, happily ever after story with a cute plot and not a whole big dramatic conflict.

um do not be fooled by the cute art cover there is so much sexy flirting and thoughts and moments and ....more sexy moments than I was expecting! Fast pace book with a hea and nice character development!

I kinda found this one hard to follow? But I also kinda like the murder mystery game/dinner aspect. But overall it wasn't my favorite unfortunately.

This was giving me all the Divergent vibes but more fantasy and I LOVED it. Every chapter was filled with excitement and fun. I felt the book was pretty predictable minus a few things at the end I didn't get that the author actually surprised me with but overall it was very enjoyable! I will say that the attraction between the main characters I felt like came out of nowhere. Like they were enemies and then all of sudden they were not? A few cliche writing but cannot wait for the next one! Still a great enjoyable read.

Another classic college enemies to friends with benefits to lovers. Everything seemed kinda rushed/forced the last 100 pages though.

This book started off very cute. The meet cute was a fun unique moment and the whole "competitors" aspect was a cute idea. However, I kinda got bored of the story and then kinda lost of the plot line. I didn't feel like there was much character development and that s lot of the character interactions felt forced.
