There’s something about an academic rivals to lovers that always hits. It always delivers great banter and tension and this book was no different. I really enjoyed Emily and Jack’s story. It was fun seeing their decades long rivalry evolve into a friendship and then more. Emily is extremely hard on herself and the perfectionist girlies will relate. Both have been through some traumas and found ways to be vulnerable and support each other. I recommend this one for fans of You With a View by Jessica Joyce and Beach Read by Emily Henry.
