thank you to netgallery & scholastic for the free earc in exchange for a fair and honest review!

i'm a bit of a sucker for ya romcoms in general, but this one especially interested me when i first heard about it. enemies to lovers? check. set in an academic setting? check. similar idea to tatbilb? double check. i will say that this book is not the most original in its concept or characters, but that didn't stop me from loving the hell out of it. sadie is an extremely relatable character (or maybe that's just me, idk) and her entire character was one of the biggest points of interest to me throughout the story. neither her nor julius ever felt like a flat or hollow character to me, something ya books often suffer from. the only flaw i can really think of is there are absolutely no twists that would draw the average mystery reader in, although the book is so cozy and comfortable that i don't think that was 1. the author's intention or 2. ever a major flaw. overall, this was just such a sweet book to me and i will be thinking about sadie for months to come.

oh my god this book did not disappoint!
i read it all in one day and couldn’t get enough of it.

i related to sadie so much so it made me cry a lot. also the romance was perfect

thank you netgalley for the e-ARC!
