3.5 stars. I mostly enjoyed it, but there were some things that irked me.
Cute book. I was expecting a typical “enemies to lovers” story but was pleasantly surprised.
Like many other reviewers, I didn’t really like Ally. She was whiny and selfish. Sure, having your “enemy” living across from you might not be ideal but she should have stopped for one minute and thought about how he must be feeling.
I don’t really know how I feel about Chase. He was a bit annoying as well. I understand why Ally disliked him for so long, but don’t really get why he didn’t get along with her.
I really disliked Tessa. Sure she was trying to help Ally and she was looking out for her friend, but she should be supporting Ally and not trying to convince her to do something she didn’t want to do.
I want more of Shane! He seemed like a really great brother and friend. I want to know how he was dealing with everything.
Man, Ally and Shane’s father might be one of my least favorite parents ever. I get that he wanted what was best for Ally and he had a tough time raising them on his own, but he was so strict on them, but especially Ally. He was putting too much pressure on her. Not to mention, generally teenagers with lots of restrictions are usually the ones to rebel. And then making it okay for her to date just because he was Chase and he was a good student? Have some faith in your daughter.
The whole plan seemed stupid to me. I understand that Ally likes to plan, but the steps seemed so childish. Not to mention, as Chase pointed out, Ally wasn’t acting her normal self. And most of the plans involved Ally wearing clothes that were nonexistent. Is that really the best way to catch a guys attention?
What happened to Mia? And Miles disappeared for a while as well. Personally, I hate when characters disappear in the middle of a book and then either never come back or make a small appearance at the end. If they weren’t going to be in the rest of the book, what was the point of including them in the first place.
I really enjoyed it, especially the dual POV.
