Lucy and Josh work together at a publishing company. They also hate each other. Or do they? Things come to a head as they both apply for the same promotion.
This is a good example of the enemies to lovers trope. There is banter back and forth. I thought this worked because it took time for them to work out their feelings towards the other. It took time to build up. I could (kinda) believe them as a couple. What did take away from this book was Josh's behavior. WTF dude? I had a hard time liking him. I do think maybe having his POV might have helped, but who knows? (Book is told through Lucy's POV).
