This book took the trope "enemies to lovers" to a whole new level. One that was so unbelievably bad. It's definitely not my favourite trope but I wanted something short and fluffy. It was an easy read because the characters as well as the story were both really flat and boring. I didn't even want to pick it up but I had long waiting hours and I just wanted this book to be over. Since it's really short, I refused to DNF it. I just suffered through it. Let's start with the characters. Both were rather tocix. Mia hacks into Jake's laptop, finds the e-mail address of his brother Finn and mails him behind Jake's back. ("Maybe he just needed someone to help nudge him into doing the right thing") Although she knows exactly that he does not want to be in touch with Finn. Eugh. Jake gave off major Edward vibes. "Not that I looked over that often. I wasn't a stalker or something. Just observant." Yeah, sure. Romanticised stalking. Ben, Mia's initial love interest, before she realised she doesn't hate Jake, seemed to be perfect but to me, he seemed to be a big arsehole during their date. - "Ben carefully took my half-eaten ice cream cone from my hand and tossed it into the metal trash can [...]" Lovely. So nice of him to control her eating habits. And he did all that just because he wanted to kiss her. The writing was rather juvenile and I didn't particularly enjoy it. Especially Jake's chapters just sounded like the author was trying way too hard to get into a bloke's mind. - "[...] there was something really hot about a girl playing video games. Forget the high heels and push-up bras. This was what guys really wanted." Adding to that, there were cringe-worthy popular culture references, such as "It was like the last season of Game of Thrones in there. [...] It was cold. Because winter is here." All in all, I didn't like this book. Unfortunately, it was not swoonworthy.
