This was the type of book that you could take with you to the pool or beach and read.

It was fun an engaging and I really enjoyed it

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher. This in no way impacted on my view.

Immediately after finishing Love in the Friend Zone, I started this book. Again, set at the same high school graduation party as in book 1, this time we follow Gordon and Zoey, who have been competing for all the awards and accolades in school their entire careers - including for the valedictorian spot. It soon becomes apparant that the scholarship that Gordon actually needs to go to college with has been won by Zoey, who he thought hadn't applied as she didn't actually need the scholarship for college. So, during the graduation ceremony, he plays a prank on her that backfires, and leads Zoey to want to punish him at the party. By pretending to be into him, and then breaking his heart, she thinks she has a solid plan, but she soon finds out who the real Gordon is, and wants to stop the plan, but it's too late.

I definitely preferred this book to book 1, though still some aspects of it did annoy me. Zoey was a tough character to understand, or even like, but Gordon was sweet and definitely a good character for this kind of book. I think because of how alike, and at the same time, how different the two were, it made their romance more believable that Fynn and Braylen's, but it was still very fast - again everything took place over a day. Even so, I liked it - it was nice, fast, and enjoyable, and just what I needed in the post Christmas slump that is January.

I'm so on the fence with this book. I enjoyed it, but at the same time I had issues with it. I did like that it was a book I could read in one go, but I had issues with the main character and that was a little hard for me to see past.

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book and chose to review it. This in no way impacts my opinion.

I absolutely adored this book. I was rooting for Gordon and Zoey from the beginning. I disliked the miscommunication but I could get around it because of the way the plot came together at the end.

I am sure a lot of people will dislike Zoey because she seems super selfish but I don't think you understand what it's like to want to work for the things you have. Especially when there is something to fall back on. Yes she didn't "need" the internship because she could use her parents money but not everyone wants to do that? Not everyone's parents give money without conditions attached? And who wants to be given money when they have to have specific conditions attached to it.

I really liked that this was all done in one night because it had higher stakes attached to it. I was worried it would take place over the summer which would make it lag and make me lose interest. The fact that it was done in one night made everything seem immediate and as if there was not enough time to accomplish everything. And I loved it! It made me really want to get to the end of the book to see what would happen.

I will definitely be checking out the rest of the Grad Night books because I want to know what other shenanigans are taking place at this party! I loved Zoey and Gordon and hope you guys check out this book and love them too.

I adored this book! I love YA romance and this was definitely one of the good ones. Gordon and Zoey were so adorable together.

I read this months ago so do excuse this review for being concise.

But I’m always a sucker for enemies to lovers plots, so this book was pretty enjoyable to me.

However I wasn’t completely fond of the characters. To me they were very...flat. Both went through character development but it felt too awkward and forced and too quick for me. Especially regarding their relationship.

I did find the relationship very cute, although I actually found myself more interested in the side romances so I will have to investigate the other books in this series to satisfy my curiousity.

The read was also very quick, I was engaged enough in the plot to essentially read it in one sitting.

Overall I found it cute but, rather boring. Not completely for me.

Thank you for letting me read this book early and sorry for the ever so late review!

I received a free ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

DNF-I just can't bring myself to finish this one. I just cannot connect at all the characters. A quarter of the way through the book and I dislike them both, and I am supposed to believe they are this mean to each other and then overcome it to have a romance.....nope don't believe it at all. Put off a few months to try again and can't force myself to read it.

Love Between Enemies is the second book in Molly's Grad Night series. Every book is standalone within the series. You do not need to read any of the others to follow along as there is no subplot throughout the books.

I am a huge fan of YA books - I enjoy reading them and I usually breeze through them within a day or two (depending on my schedule). But this one, I actually struggled to read and continue on with it. I ended up reading two books before I went back to finish this one and still had a hard time getting through it. It was just ok for me.

I think the biggest issue for me was the entire book was 24hrs - and lord, was it a LONG 24hrs. A lot happened and things between Gordon and Zoey changed, but I wish everything took place over a long period of time. I felt myself getting extremely bored and just wanted to get to the end. I did end up skimming a lot of the book because the angst just wasn't there for me.

The storyline was cute and I enjoyed that it was about 2 students who are super ambitious and competitive. But the situation felt dragged out and I just felt it all tied up too perfectly in the end, especially for everything happening in 24hrs.

I enjoyed Molly's writing and her characters which is why I didn't DNF the book. I just think the whole timeline is what killed the overall vibe for me.

If you don't mind a storyline being all of 24hrs and enjoy a sweet sort of enemies to lovers YA romance, this book might be for you.

I received an eARC from Entangled Teen thru Netgalley. With this, my thoughts and opinion will not affect my review of the book in any way.

Love Between Enemies is about rivalry. Revenge. and misunderstanding that leads the two main characters to fall in love with each other. 

The story started when Zoey received the scholarship that Gordon wants during their graduation day. Gordon was really angry with Zoey that during his speech as salutatorian, he talk and humiliates her in front of all the whole graduating class and school faculty. 

Gordon later realized that what he did to Zoey is wrong. So he plan that during their graduation party he will apologize to Zoey for what he did.

Zoey being humiliated plots a revenge against Gordon. But little did Zoey know that Gordon wants to apologize to her for humiliating her. 

Reading the first few chapters gave me boring feelings that I really want to not continue reading it and just DNF it. It is such a slow paced story that just talk and talks about nonsense things about the past. But later on, I found myself enjoying it when the two characters finally get to know each other at the party. 

The plot is kinda predictable and slow that you just want to read the last page to know what will happen in the story. It is a story where the action or the interesting plot can be found upon reading half the book. 

With the books imperfection, I still did enjoy reading it as I was looking forward every time of what will happen and when will the most interesting part will happen.

Love Between Enemies is the second book in the Grad Night series by Molly E. Lee. The Grad night series is a set of interconnected standalones that follow a group of friends on the night of their high school graduation. I really love the idea behind this series because all three of the books basically happen over the same weekend, so we get to see lots of character overlap and scene overlap from different perspectives in the different books. But each of the books does read as a standalone, so you don't have to read the series in order. Each one will follow a different couple. The Grad Night series falls squarely in the young adult age group, and I think it is great for readers of all young adult and adult ages. I loved Love Between Enemies. It was super cute and a ton of fun.

Love Between Enemies follows our two main characters, Zoey and Gordon. Zoey and Gordon are number one and two in their senior class respectively and they are always competing with each other for the top spot in various projects, awards and achievements. What I loved the most about Zoey and Gordon is that they are so evenly matched, and they push each other to be better. Plus, they have that whole rivalry thing going on which I really love. Throw in some revenge into the mix and you have a story, that while predictable (in a good way) is a whole lot of fun!

Zoey and Gordon also have one of the cutest rituals between the two of them. There is this little stuff animal, called branch. They share him. Whenever one of them beats the other person at something, they pass Branch along to the "loser". The loser gets to keep branch until they beat the other one at something else. It was really kind of adorable. Zoey and Gordon are both very type A, and they each have different motivations for trying to be the best. We get to learn a lot more about each of them as people throughout the course of the story. Neither one of them are perfect, and each of them take their various revenge plots a bit too far, but the overall storyline of Love Between Enemies was satisfying. I really loved Zoey and Gordon's journey. It made me want to read the next book in the Grad Night series very badly! Love Between Enemies was a great feel good romance between two rivals. I loved reading about their love story.

A misunderstanding leads to revenge that turns into a lover.

A story starts off with two very ambitious human being. Compete with each other throughout anything at school yet they don't really have a true conversation with each other and during the final year, they are competing for a scholarship and an internship place. But both of them has different reasons for why they need the scholarship.

Gordon Meyers - He is a bright student, very competitive yet also a humble person. He lives with his dad and they run a restaurant which almost shutting down thus the scholarship is very important for him to have it.

Zoey Handler - She is also a bright student and very competitive. She always finds that competing with Gordon is something that she enjoys to do but she has no ill-intention towards Gordon. Being a rich student in school, people always talk about her behind her back - not really good things that she would like to hear about. Because of that, she works really hard just to prove to everyone and her dad and that's why she wants the scholarship.

The writing flow is flowing beautifully that makes me stick to read it from start to finish. They are two perspective view from the two main characters that help us to know what they both talk and thinking about on each other. I love that kind of a point of view.

I admit that I hate Zoey's character at first. It's like "come on, seriously? Why did you do that?". But as after one to another page, I started to see why she did that and it comes to me that she is quite a nice girl. That being said, Molly E.Lee did a great job that at first makes me hate the character and then, like the character after that.

On the end note, it is a light reading with a cute fluffy between the characters which I do enjoy reading it. If you like to read something sweet, light and short, I suggest you should read Love Between Enemies

This was a really romantic read that had a lot of character! I enjoyed how well fleshed out the story was and how well rounded the characters were, and that romance was something I couldn't turn away from!

Days away from graduation, the years of fierce competitions and challenges are coming to close especially with this big internship both Zoey and Gordon. These two have been enemies since elementary, but when bad news of his father's shop being closed, a botched grad speech, a revenge plan, stolen keys, a couple of drinking games later, and an eye-opening kiss later; these two are in for a rollercoaster of feelings.

I really love these two! Despite always being agasint one another their entire lives; they realized that no one could challenge the way they could to the other and they work better together. Zoey & Gordon are my sweet needs who I love so much.

Look. It was an Entangled Crush book. I'm almost guaranteed to like it. And I did. I've always loved the whole love/hate idea in books, and so that was perfect. Their relationship was great, and there were enough sparks and feels between them. Congratulations to the publisher and the author, this was a great and very enjoyable read!

This book was well written. I did love how it flowed together and made me want to keep on reading.

Molly did a great job writing this story. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen. Sometimes a bad day turns into a horrible no good day. Gordon made a mistake and owned up to it. I loved watching the interactions between Zoey & Gordon since they'd never really socially interacted.

Please note: I received a copy of LOVE BETWEEN ENEMIES via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the publisher and author.

LOVE BETWEEN ENEMIES gets 5 stars and here is why:

I LOVE THIS STORY! It’s a frenemies romance and friends to lovers stories rock my world! This is the second book in the Grad Night series. After devouring LOVE IN THE FRIEND ZONE I couldn’t wait for Zoey and Gordon’s story and Molly E. Lee once again delivers! Total book hangover. Yep, I read it in one night – totally ignored my friends, my phone, and my to-do list in order to find out how Zoey and Gordon not only handle their competing against each other for a full scholarship and summer internship, but also figure out love is where and with whom you might least expect. Game on!

LOVE BETWEEN ENEMIES is an awesome, quick read. The pacing is amazing, the characters relatable, the dialogue realistic as well as hilarious, and the sexual chemistry is off the charts. **fans herself** I can’t wait to read more from Ms. Lee and find out what happens Lennon and Jade. I am so keeping my fingers crossed for those two!

Love Between Enemies is one of those reads that practically turns the pages for you--it's that readable. The whole book (with the exception of a tiny prologue) takes place in a single day--the bulk of it during the evening, at their graduation party--hence the title. It occurs simultaneously with books one and three in the series ( Love in the Friend Zone and the as-yet unnamed book featuring Lennon and Jade) and though you get tiny glimpses into the drama that is going on with the other couples at the party, each works fine as a standalone and the order you read them in shouldn't really matter.

Though the aforementioned glimpses pretty much ensure you want to read them all...

To be honest, for most of the book I liked Gordon more than I liked Zoey (though his misunderstanding of their mini-almost-non-conversation in the prologue felt a bit forced, it was necessary for the plot) because her need for revenge for what he does on the morning of graduation felt way, way out of proportion given their different situations, especially since she admits herself that a whole lot of people didn't "get" that he'd even dissed her. Her plan and its possible implications could have had real and lasting effect on years of his life, not just embarrassed him and made him cry once. She manages to make it okay in the end, but can you say overreact much?

Knowing the potential disaster that the two of them were barreling toward gave reading this a train-wreck-is-going-to-happen-any-minute-and-I-can't-look-away-from-it-just-in-case feel. The climax is truly horrifying, and Zoey fortunately pulls out all the stops in trying to make amends (as she should!). Though the fixes seem a bit too easy, they're what probably should have happened all along, so it's hard to be too nitpicky. The two of them really are cute together, which kind of makes everyone involved a bit sorry they've wasted most of the book not being cute together--but hey, those last few pages are adorable!

How soon until book three?

Rating: 4 stars / B+

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

When I read the first book, <a href="http://bookbinge.com/2017/08/review-love-in-the-friend-zone-by-molly-e-lee/">Love in the Friend Zone</a>, I was curious about Gordon and Zoey. I was curious about them because Gordon was pretty pissed at graduation and I was even more curious about Zoey's plan of revenge. I wanted to read this book to see what happened to piss Gordon off and to see how it all went down for Zoey.

The day of Graduation, Gordon wakes up to some really devastating news so when he gets to school, he's hoping for some good news about a scholarship that he applied for. After getting the news that his father's restaurant isn't doing so hot, he's banking on the full ride scholarship for school. He worked really hard for it and needs the money to help ease the financial burden on his Dad. When he gets to the school and the counselor tells him that the scholarship went to someone who doesn't even need money for school, he is not happy. He's already emotional because his father is losing the restaurant that was his late mother's dream, the restaurant that was a second home to him and then the hits keep coming because Zoey told him on the first day of school that she was not going out for the scholarship but she just won it. Needless to say, he's emotional and he gets a little revenge by embarrassing her at the graduation. Made a total dick move and afterward is completely remorseful.

He plans to apologize at his friend, Lennon's grad night party but he's still got a lot on his mind. He's forming plans to try to save his father's livelihood and he's giving up on his dream school because spending that much money on college just isn't an option right now. He's got one thing left to look forward to and he's not ready to give up on that yet.

Meanwhile, in her wealthy family's house, Zoey is plotting revenge on Gordon's shenanigans from graduation. She's going to show him. She brings in a lot of her friends to make this happen and everything is going to go down exactly as she plans. When night time hits, she heads over to Lennon's for the party to get things rolling.

The entire time that Gordon and Zoey are having fun at the party, I was enjoying their chemistry. It's so young and so sweet and Zoey was showing a bit of remorse, getting second thoughts on her mystery plan and then I found out what her mystery plan was...and then it wasn't fun anymore. You see, the thing that can make or break a character's actions for me is intent.

What Gordon did to Zoey is instantly forgivable because it wasn't well thought out, it was reactionary and all it did was embarrass Zoey. He immediately felt bad about it and then he sought her out to apologize, face to face. His intent wasn't to ruin her life.

But Zoey's intent? Not the same. Sure, her plan was reactionary but she wasn't out to embarrass Gordon. She was out to ruin him...and rip his future away. Her plan was messed up and had it gone down any other way than how it did, she would have ruined not just Gordon's future but Gordon's fathers as well. There could have been dire consequences to her plans and she never called it off. She let her embarrassment lead her to do something pretty fucked up. Let's not forget that she planned everything out and she meant for Gordon to lose the internship in a spectacularly fucked up way.

I was already annoyed with her for going out for a full ride scholarship while having loaded parents. Her parents were assholes, sure, but it was evident that she was loved and really, her issues about her parents' money stemmed from what her schoolmates thought, not anything her parents did. So, for her to go out for a scholarship didn't sit right with me. Her father wasn't abusive and it wasn't like she wasn't planning on going to work for her father in the future anyway...so why not have her father pay for her college and let the scholarship go to someone who actually needed it? Her reasons didn't match her actions and because she never called off her stupid, ridiculous plan, I didn't like her and I didn't care about what she did to make up for it because she shouldn't have ever done it.

That's the gist of why I just couldn't like this book. Sure, it was a quick read and I didn't lose a lot of time reading it but I was annoyed the whole time, first about the scholarship and then about Zoey's plan. Her actions didn't deserve a speedy forgiveness. I'm sorry, but no. It didn't and I know that this book was written for a younger audience but ugh. Just no.

Gordon, on the other hand, proved to be a fantastic lead in this book. I loved how hard he worked, how much love he had for his father and the restaurant. I loved how he faced his problems head-on and he was mature enough to own up to his mistakes and make them right. The right way. He didn't deserve what Zoey planned for him and he let her off the hook far too soon. He was everything that was right in this story and had it not been for him, I would have DNF'd this book real quick. So would I recommend this one? Nope. Gordon, his father and seeing everyone again was good but Zoey and the rest of everything else?? Nope. Not at all.

<strong>Grade: 2 out of 5</strong>

Love Between Enemies tells the story of Zoey and Gordon, two seniors that have been fighting each other to be the best, have the best grades, chess tournaments, science fairs, etc, for the last 4 years and it all comes down to one night. The night Gordon loses it all but finds Zoey along the way (can you find something or someone that’s always been there?). Maybe what’s done is done and there’s no turning back after that.

This book… I wanted to love it so badly but I just liked it, it really all sums up in the title which I find a little annoying but it’s okay. There were a few things that stopped me from absolutely loving this book, a few that helped me really like it and here’s a breakdown of them all:

Zoey is a real binch for most of the book. Now I get it, she was hurt because of what Gordon said and whatnot but she really took it a little far and I didn’t enjoy reading her thoughts most of the time, I just 100% truly enjoyed the end.
Things moved pretty quickly. I read this book in one school day, which is pretty quickly so that might be why I felt it that way, but basically the book all happens in one night, a good amount of it at a party and as I was reading the story I didn’t notice it, until I looked down and realized I was at 60% and is when I stopped and my mind was like “what? no way, I need more’.
I loved Gordon. He’s the cutest, he’s so smart but also really sweet and I just… yes. Gordon is the best and there’s no other way around it.
The story itself is pretty cute, I personally love enemies to lovers, taking away Zoey’s petty, immature attitude and actions, the story is pretty cute.
Basically, I didn’t love it, it was okay. Do I recommend it? I’d say give it a chance, you might not find Zoey as annoying as I did or you might absolutely hate it. Sadly we can’t love all of the books we read, let me know if you read this book and if you liked it! I’d love to know.
