i liked this book but i wanted to love it, i thought i was going to love it but i just don’t think this had the kind of tension and angst i w3.5 stars
i liked this book but i wanted to love it, i thought i was going to love it but i just don’t think this had the kind of tension and angst i was expecting from rivals to lovers. i felt like things kinda moved too fast and it felt very fluffy which isn’t really for me. the smut was good though and im so glad this book was about two black girls in love. i just think this author may not be for me, ive read another one of her books and it just doesn’t hit like i want it to. ...more

this book was better than the first book in my opinion. first of all the book started off messy as hell which i loved, i had so much fun in4.5/5 stars
this book was better than the first book in my opinion. first of all the book started off messy as hell which i loved, i had so much fun in the beginning. i just really enjoyed the plot. these books read more like women fiction but once i realized that i was able to really enjoy the book. i also thought the chemistry in this book was a bit better, it was a lot less sexual and more focused on soledad finding herself which i really appreciated. ...more

i struggled with this a bit, the plot was very slow to where sometimes i felt i had to feel like i had to push through to finish the book, i really wai struggled with this a bit, the plot was very slow to where sometimes i felt i had to feel like i had to push through to finish the book, i really wanted to complete it to give it a review. i think the writing is beautiful but the plot wasn’t something i necessarily care for and i didn’t connect with the characters. maybe would’ve been better if i had listened to it on audiobooks. i’m also just not the target audience (young adult) for this book so i absolutely would still recommend it to teens or anyone that frequently enjoys ya. ...more

do i think this couple will be getting a second divorce? oh absolutely but the tension and angst there is was so damn good.!
which is why it gets 4 stado i think this couple will be getting a second divorce? oh absolutely but the tension and angst there is was so damn good.!
which is why it gets 4 stars instead of 3 bc i think it was well written but also a lot of scenes had me kicking my feet and giggling. second chance romance is one of my favorite tropes especially when it’s between a divorce couple and they come back together after a one night stand, ugh so good!! i just don’t get why they divorced like i get it but idk seems like they both only wanted each other sexually.
i don’t mind miscommunication but i just don’t understand why you wouldn’t fight for someone you love?lastly, this is definitely a woman’s fiction book mismarketed as romance. ...more

why was this marketed as enemies to lovers but is literally the exact opposite? i hate when publishers do that because from the moment the two meet yowhy was this marketed as enemies to lovers but is literally the exact opposite? i hate when publishers do that because from the moment the two meet you can tell the prince is instantly interested in the FMC. i hope in future books the author improves on writing characters because i did find every character in this book very bland and it felt like the author did a lot of telling and not showing. sometimes with the main character it felt like the author wanted us to believe her personality was one type but wrote it almost opposite of that. anyway i found the writing was good and the book was interesting enough....more
