Luke is a spoiled brat but i came to love him. Vivi is a spit fire determined to stand up for herself and loved ones. The enimies to lovers theme is good for these two. i don't know if i love the way they fight or the way they love better. The dual narration is awesome. Both Troy Duran and Mari do an excellent job with each character. The ending to the series did dnot disappoint.

I liked this one, but not nearly as much as the first book. My favorite is Luke and Jakes mom lol. Her antics make me laugh! At first, I thought that Vivi and Luke’s relationship was kind of juvenile and highschool-ish. Considering they were 20 or so, I’d expect the name calling to be over with. That was annoying but it got better as their true feelings came out. I also really liked Jojo’s changes as a mom. Her persistence and other little things, like her being nervous about them being in her apartment, made her likable. I will say that I feel like this book could’ve ended much sooner than it actually did....but even then, it was cute ending lol.

My problem with the lest book was how “weak” they made the “strong/independent” FMC seem. Misses Sola really pulled that out and rocked it in this book. Vivi was exactly what this series needed when it came to a strong independent woman.

Just like the last book Jake and Sandy were included and let me just say

I think this is my third or fourth time reading this book (this time on audible) and it’s always good. Vivi and Luke are my fav in the series. Their enemies to lovers is one of my favs and this series will always hold a special place in my heart

Unfortunately a DNF. The white man was wilding. Either cut ties with your family or forgive them. Those are your options. It had been YEARS since it happened. Get over it. Maybe I’m being harsh but he was so obsessed with being the victim.

I thought maybe the story would move on from this narrative but I skimmed and it’s like the main plot. How can this be a romance when he’s obsessed with his ex for most of the book? The heroine deserved better. Every woman does. I wanted her to get away from him tbh.

I hear the third book in this series is much better and it’s on my list to read so I will try that book and see.

Update: I tried it and did not like what I read

Crash thrives on being an unpredictable mass of chaos. This time around Sola takes the most obvious of couples, steps out from under the fairytale and lets them find their own way. Luke and Vivi give their foolish hearts quite the workout. Bouncing between love and hate. Frenemies are always at their most intriguing when they finally give in to their hearts. The proof lies in the versatility. Sola continues to spread her wings while learning her readers by heart.

Very cute story but I think Vivi should’ve been an older and more mature female character. She’s 21 (barely legal) and it’s hella cringe….she’s childish and immature (because she’s so young) and also needs therapy due to her awful parents. These stories with big age gaps are so tired. Childish bratty behavior from these young women is not a sexy plot device. It’s annoying and weird. It’s obvious Vivi is too young for Luke…mental more than anything. She also knows she’s in over her head. Also she is supposed to be Haitian. Why is Luke always describing her skin is pink? At least call her beige. She’s black. His description is weird… She’s obviously light skinned so stop calling her pink.Vivi’s dad’s behavior needed to be called out as abusive and her mom complicit. They’re both trash and definitely should’ve been vilified more than just written as mean and problematic.
