Firstly, I really enjoyed this book. It’s a perfect little read to get you in the mood for summer. Had me wishing I was sat reading it on a beach!
I feel like I read a lot of books by American authors and don’t get me wrong, I love them, but it was so nice to read something with a bit of UK dialect and slang. I also loved the classic ‘mum bought a thriller at the airport and is sat reading it’.
I’m not a huuuuuuge lover of the miscommunication trope but did appreciate the way it was written and played out.
I thought it was really refreshing to see mental health talked about and introduced pretty much from the start. It’s something that so many of us struggle with and it’s nice to be reminded that even our perfect book loves have their struggles.
Overall, a really nice read.
Let me start by saying how refreshing it is to have mental health so openly discussed in a romcom. As someone who has both struggled with, and worked in, mental health, it was amazing to read about a character who had a breakdown for no other reason than life.
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the relationship between Jamie and Flo, I wasn't quite feeling the chemistry, but I definitely enjoyed the family dynamic between all of them.
I would definitely read work by this author again
‘Enemies to Lovers’ will leave you desperate for a holiday in a villa on the beach in Greece.
After having her heartbroken by her brother’s best friend at Christmas, he’s the last person she expects to see on her two-week family holiday in Greece.
I am a huge LJW fan and have loved all her books, but this one didn’t quite hit the spot for me. I adored her usual dreamy writing style and fully absorbed the holiday atmosphere, but I just couldn’t quite root for Flo - probably because I hate the miscommunication trope and so much of this could’ve been solved with a simple conversation.
Overall though, I think this will make a perfect beach holiday read.
Thank you NetGalley and Cornerstone for the ARC.
This book give me Anyone but You vibes and I am so here for it!I cannot wait to share my full thoughts and review on this one, but it was such a blast. Such a well written funny, heartfelt, and well written comedy/romance. Loved every minute and I know readers will as well. Laura Jane Williams knocks it it outf the park!
