For most of this book I was just begging Allison to chill out and go to therapy. She has some glaring character flaws, probably the biggest being how quick she is to assume the worst. One of my least favorite things about the enemies-to-lovers trope is when the enemies aspect is entirely based on the main character making harsh assumptions about the love interest and antagonizing them unnecessarily. This love story mixes in the second-chance-romance trope as well to try to justify the one-sided antagonism, but it isn't enough to excuse the way Allison handles the academic rivalry between herself and Colin. 

Colin was more sympathetic and likeable to me at first, but we hear a lot about his past behavior that wasn't good; the BFF doesn't trust him, so that's a red flag; and he makes one huge mistake in the present that is kind of hard to get past. It turns out to not quite be what Allison thought, but it still shows a severe lack of communication. It's kind of hard to say whether or not they will make it as a couple and whether or not they are good for each other.

I did really enjoy the audiobook narrator and Jenny L. Howe's writing, it's good for a debut. I also loved the Providence, Rhode Island setting. I almost feel like this could have been a stronger book if it wasn't a romance, since the other elements going on were well thought out and took interesting turns.
