I thought I would love this book. Academic rivals to lovers? With an ice-queen heroine and a grumpy hero? That's my type of book.
Sadly, this wasn't any of those things. This wasn't rivals to lovers at all. This was more like a mild dislike to insta-lust to lovers. There was no rivalry. They just had a healthy competition. One slightly bad interaction years ago does not make two people enemies. It does not work like that.
Our lovely heroine, Nora, was not an ice queen. She was simply a workaholic. ...more

This was weirdly addicting, but I sort of forced myself through it??? Also, this was supposed to be anti-cliché, but it was still cliché.
here goes my verdict.. charlie-nora own me 🫶🏽🫶🏽 my woman’s
this is me trying
in real life. in some way, both charlie and nora remind me of
folklore.
and i often found myself resonating with them. other times i felt giddy over their interactions and they had completely won me over from the start. i really tried my hardest to savor every page for as long as possible because i simply didn’t want it to end but at the same time.. the author made it impossible to put the book down. emily henry

I like this one even more than beach read!!😁
4 Stars JUST FOR THE BANTER ALONE!!
The first have of the story is very captivating but then the second half gets overpowered and overwhelmed by the “sister-to-sister relationship” issues. I felt like I was reading a different book that started focusing on just the sisters and the romance just DISAPPEARED! It went from feeling like a “witty-tension-flirting-teasing” to “depressed-mood-family-issues”…. The “small town feel” does NOT feel like Gilmore Girls Star Hollows Town - just to warn you!

I wanted to like this book so much bc of all the good reviews it’s been getting🥲 idkkkk y’all I had a hard time connecting with the characters - is it just me?? I finished the book in hopes it will get better but this book was not it.
I went into this blind and excited to dive into my first Emily Henry book; however, I was thoroughly disappointed. The entire book I was waiting for that "sparks flying" "heart rushing" moment between Nora and Charlie...but it never came. These mc's were the least bit interesting and honestly unmemorable. I was continually steered back to the relationship between the sisters which took up way too much of the storyline. Trust me, I am an older sister and I appreciate that special bond BUT in my o

Fantastic book. It was so cute and heartwarming. I can’t believe I let it sit on my TBR for over a year because I absolutely adored this book.
