“Stuck With Him” by Danielle Owen-Jones takes a standard trope (not really liking each other but eventually move onto something more) but puts an interesting twist on it - what happens when the home you’ve pined for is just out of your reach, but a proposal of purchasing the house together - and being both co-owners and housemates - sounds like a good idea? I liked the twist that Ms. Owen-Jones had as it seemed like opposites really did attract in this book. I had two issues with this book, though. As my partner would say “Lucy needs new friends” - what happened at the hen do I found crazy (even factoring in lots of alcohol) and the part with the pool and computer - no - Lucy, you need new friends. To me it wan’t funny and it wasn’t sending a reality check - it was mean girl times 100. As for the “twist” with the CEO - there had to be conflict, there was, but because so little time was spent on the CEO, for me it was more like a little speed bump in the story - not a twist (plus, no real character development). I cannot say that I laughed out loud, as the publisher’s blurb says, but for a light fluffy read - and miscommunication abounding - it was a fine book. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a DNF for me pretty early on. I just found the main girl so completely insufferable I couldn't read any more.
