I have such weird feelings about this book. The “enemies-to-lovers” fell so flat for me. There was no reason for these two to dislike each other so the snarking felt super meaningless. Hamilton has mentioned being super inspired by Casey McQuinston and their RWARB and I definitely see that and I like it. This book is very queer, very focused on self-love, found family, power of love, etc. and I did really love that. I just didn’t super love this which feels mean bc it's the author’s debut and it’s so full of heart but it definitely feels like a debut so 🤷‍♀️😅
