What a delightful enemies to lovers story!! E-to-L is one of my favorite tropes and it was done very well in this book. I loved the college dorm setting of this because it felt very realistic. I instantly became a Heather Garvin fan and I cannot wait to read future books by her and also read any of her previous books. The sexual and romantic tension was off the charts and so delicious! It is a slow burn but so worth it and since the chapters are short it's easy to just keep turning those pages!

A great read if you enjoy:
- enemies to lovers
- college romance
- forced proximity
- spicy

This is a good book. The two main characters are Margot and Jackson. They are starting college, they live in the same dorm, right across the hall. Their best friends are dating. They bicker at each other. There is an attraction. They start dating each other but make a pact to not tell anyone. They each have issues but together they work them out and fall in love.

First of all thank you for approving my request!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The authors writing style had me hooked throughout this book.

I didn't want it to end, a book I really couldn't put down.

A New Adult/college novel with enemies to lovers trope. Interested to see where it goes in the sequel.

I recently read "Just Don't Call Me Yours" by Heather Garvin and I must say it was a delightful and captivating read. The story of Margot and Jackson's encounter is engaging and well-crafted.

The tension between Margot and Jackson is palpable from the start, and their dynamic is filled with both witty banter and genuine emotion. The evolution of their relationship as they are continuously forced into each other's company is both entertaining and heartwarming.

The author skillfully portrays the internal conflict and growing attraction between the characters, making their romance feel authentic and relatable. The exploration of their individual ambitions and the obstacles they face adds depth to the story.

Overall, "Just Don't Call Me Yours" is a charming and well-written romance novel that kept me thoroughly entertained from beginning to end. I would highly recommend it to fans of the genre.

don't even ask me why the rating got so specific- it just felt right?? but this book was five stars.

let me just- THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST ROMANCES I'VE READ.. ever?? i saw a post for this book here on instagram and the post said "she's a little taylor swift, he's a little arctic monkeys" and you guys know i was obsessed right then and there.

heather, i don't know how you managed to craft something so beautifully perfect, but you did it! as i kept reading, i kept falling deeper and deeper in love with this book (even when it didn't seem possible to love it more than i already did!) i finished this book in a day, and just didn't sleep because i was so lost within the pages, and let me tell you that every second reading this book was worth it (despite the sleep deprivation)!

What a fun surprise this book turned out to be! I was expecting just a humdrum regular romcom but got a beautiful love story. Jackson and Margot's banter is so much fun that I wanted to just keep reading more!

Enemies to lovers perfection 💙 Margot and Jackson live across the hall from each other in college dorms - from day one, they hate each other and go tit for tat constantly. Eventually they realise they’re enjoying this a bit too much and that they don’t hate each other after all!

The romantic (and sexual) tension in this is off the scale. It’s kind of a slow burn in their journey to real feelings, but also to the physical element of their attraction as well. It’s just so very readable - the chapters are short and gripping and it quickly becomes a compulsive page turner! Loved this and so excited to read a sequel 🥰

What to expect:

- enemies to lovers
- college romance
- forced proximity
- quite spicy

4.25/4.5 ⭐️

I really just ate this one up! I really really enjoyed it and felt like i was sucked into the characters and the story from the first chapter!

This is definitely my favorite book by this author - it gives YA vibes, but also gives spice and some older vibes as well. Chapters are short and things are always happening to keep the pacing up and you hooked.

I don’t necessarily think that it is enemies to lovers - it’s more just wrong first impression but it doesn’t bother me! The banter is top notch because they don’t like each other at first!

I would love to see more of their story as well as their roommate’s stories as well.

It was a nice story and easy read . I enjoyed the dual POVs and characters dynamic. Nice amount of banter and enjoyed the enemies to lovers trope. Thank you NetGalley for this ARC

I always find requesting a book by an author you dont know to be somewhat risky... Is that the game of requesting ARCs? Yes of course... But still! And then you find a book you really really like! And its worth reading several mediocre ones!

This was SUPER CUTE! The banter between the 2 was amazing! Had me hooked from the start and I read it super quickly.
This is an enemies to lovers, just one bed, the best friends are really sweet and I'm pretty sure we can say he falls first...
Or at least he's ready to admit it first.
You have chapters from her and his point of view alternating.
They are 18 but it reads older in my opinion.
Oh and there is a playlist!!!

Fair warning, even though there is a proper ending we get a "to be continued..."
*Thanks to NetGalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for acces to this eARC against an honest review.*

Here we have a solid 3 stars read for me. The story was good and easy to read.

The characters was alright but I didn't fancy them so much (I thought I would).
I had very high hopes and it was alright but not enough to be a 3,5-4 stars.

this was very much a slowburn that I enjoyed. two flawed complicated characters, I loved the journey.

I received this as an ARC read but only a couple days before release. I read it as fast as I could but this is late for sure so I apologize!

Let me just start by saying, I LOVED this book! And when is the next one coming out?! To be continued… has me wondering what’s next for Margot and Jackson ☺️

This book grabbed my attention right away, which really does not happen often for me. Even with my favorite authors. The tension, the living across the hall banter, Rae and matt, all of it was great. Personally I think college settings are my favorite, maybe because it’s so easy to relate to?

Really looking forward to more!

I thought I would love this; I enjoyed Heather Garvin's other books. I found this one oddly immature and didn't like either main character.

Just Don’t Call Me Yours - Heather Garvin
Genre: Romance
Publication Date: March 11th 2024
Rating: ★★★★★

A college romance, with enemies to lovers involving a guitarist in a band and a Swiftie??? Absolutely sign me up!

JDCMY is Garvin at her best. I’ve read almost all of her books and enjoyed every one but this one was extra special. The banter between Margot and Jackson was perfect. It had just the right amount of spice for me. AND THAT ENDING! I got literal chills when my brain started putting together what was going on.

If you’re a romance reader you absolutely have to pick this one up. Especially since there is a sequel coming in September!! And it’s now available on Kindle Unlimited!

Thank you Heather and NetGalley for the eARC! I will definitely be purchasing a physical copy of this one for my collection!
