this kind of had an uphill battle to begin w as i was misled on the genre and havent been in the mood for contemporary romance in ages. but i do like romance!! i swear this isn’t coming from an “all romance bad�� perspective lol. i just didn’t think this was good :( didn’t really gaf about either main character and their dynamic felt super rushed esp when this is marketed as enemies to lovers..?

also plays into that trend in romance right now where mcs have mental health or substance abuse issues that are used for their main “gimmick�� only for it to result in the characters constantly talking with eachother through therapy speak the entire time. just nerfs any chemistry to me personally and is eye roll inducing especially when it’s so surface level. i get this is a romance so im not even expecting them to go deep with shit in the first place, but it’s when they attempt to “go deep�� with that nightmare combo of therapy speak and unnatural exposition that it just comes off as sooo corny to me idk idk
