I'm a bit torn on how I felt about this one. I spent most of the book wanting to punt our hero off a bridge, hoping that our heroine would be the one to do it (and frankly I cheered for her pushing him into a pond, even if it wasn't her intention) but I also found myself cheering for them. 

There were several places in which I thought Aurelia forgave Max a bit too readily and while I understand that she couldn't stay mad at him for the whole book, I do think that this story may have been better off with less little moments of conflict that are quickly resolved and more of an overall simmer of the larger conflicts at play.

That said, it was a fun read at times and I can forgive a little contrived conflict for all the excellent friends to enemies to lovers content it provides.
