„You were right, Sadie Wen. I am completely, helplessly obsessed with you.“
I hope this doesn‘t find you by Ann Liang I think I‘ve just finished my new favourite romance book EVER. I had so much fun reading about Sadie and Julius, I finished this book in two days. That‘s really fast for me! There were so many moments, where I just had to laugh out loud because this book was soo funny!! The romance is everything I want in a romance book. Academic rivals, banter, cozy, fun, a guy who doesn‘t hold back when someone disrespects his girl. The tension between these two was having me on the edge of my seat until the last page of the book. In my opinion this book was just perfect. And I guess that‘s the only right opinion. Already one of my favourite books of the year!
very cute and i had to laugh a few times hihi
liebsssss!!! probably mein fav enemies to lovers ever😍😍 aber absolut zu kurz🥹 und man könnte die timeline vom buch bisschen länger machen, wenn man darauf achtet, ist es schon ein bisschen gerusht🫡 aber ansonsten MEGA
"For ten years I thought I was preparing to destroy you, when really I was preparing to love you." -page 308
I would give 4 stars to my reading experience. I definitely enjoyed it and was invested. I liked the characters, especially Julius. However, the book could've been longer, and the full potential of the story wasn't used. I would've loved it if it had 200 pages more. Even though it was slow-burn, I still feel like the story could've been longer, especially to explore the characters' family problems more. It would've been interesting to get to know Julius' family... All in all, I liked it. I love academic rivals/Enemies To Lovers, and the trope was well used in this book. I also liked the setting. Cute read, that I would definitely recommend 🤗 📷 made by me: https://pin.it/1gWdT4WPp
,,In order to beat the enemy you have to understand them intimately ..."
Ein schöner, leichter Enemies to Lovers für zwischendurch. :) --- Inhalt: Saddie und Julius sind schon verfeindet seitdem sie 7 sind. Immer wollen sie die Besten in allen sein, sei es an Sportveranstaltungen, in allen Schulfächern oder gar in Organisatorischen Sachen. Sie verabscheuen sich bis zum Tode. Saddies Wut auf Julius ist dermaßen groß, dass sie sogar im Geheimen, wenn sie die Wut nicht mehr ertragen kann, ihm ,,Hass-Emails'' schreibt, welche sie jedoch für sich behält. Doch eines Tages kommen diese raus und zerstören Saddies perfekten Ruf. Sie greift zu Maßnhamen, an die sie als braves Mädchen niemals gedacht hätte..., was ihr Schulleben sowie die Feindschaft mit Julius ins Schwanken bringt. Einschätzung: Ich fand das Buch echt gut geschrieben und musste andauernd lachen, weil manche Konversationen einfach zu absurd waren oder immer irgendeine Überraschung um die Ecke kam. 😂 Auch wenn mir die beiden sehr ans Herz gewachsen sind, fand ich Saddies Entwicklung am interessantesten. Man merkt wirklich durch die Seiten, wie sie endlich erlernt anderen auch mal Unrecht zu geben oder wie sie ihre Freiheit gewinnt sowie das Wichtigste: Ihr eigenes Glück findet. Wie sie lernt sich von anderen Meinungen nicht mehr unterzudrücken. Fakt: Aus einem zu netten Mädchen wird eine selbstsichere und mutige Persönlichkeit. GENAU DAS mochte ich. Die Dynamik zwischen den Beiden war wiegesagt super sowie süß und die passen halt, was soll man sagen. ;D --- 1 Stern Abzug, weil ich mir ehrlich gesagt gewünscht habe das Buch wäre etwas länger u. es war etwas kitschig..., aber dennoch Lesempfehlung. Wenn ihr mal Lust auf etwas Leichtes habt, dann dieses! 4 ✨
Cute Highschool love
Es tat so gut einfach mal etwas so normales und doch so süßes zu lesen. Mein 13-Jähriges Ich würde wahrscheinlich von diesem Buch träumen und fangirlen. 😂😊 Super duper simple und tolle Geschichte zwischen zwei kleinen Erzfeinden die doch irgendwie so viel mit einander zu tun haben, das doch mehr als ein Funken zwischen denen entsteht! Ich bin sehr sehr zufrieden mit der Authorin und mag ihren Schreibstyle 🙈
Das Buch war... süß. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger.
Das Buch vermittelt kein Bauchkribbeln, keine Gänsehaut, keine tieferen Emotionen. Es behandelt keine schwierigen Themen, keine wirklichen Probleme; es geht einfach nur um zwei Teenager, die von akademischen Rivalen zu Liebenden werden (wenn überhaupt; es war nie von Liebe die Rede). Aber das ist in Ordnung. Manchmal braucht man sowas auch. Dadurch, dass das Buch auch relativ kurz ist, kann man es zwischendurch mal lesen, um eventuell mal durchzuatmen, wenn man sonst Bücher mit schweren Themen oder ähnliches liest. Wenn ihr Shojo-Mangas kennt, die in der Highschool spielen: ja, das ist genau das: ein Shojo in Buchform. Mir persönlich hat es leider zu wenig gegeben.

Sadie is a teenage girl who feels responsible for everything. As a consequence, she has to have the best grades (so she can have a good career in case her brother's sports career doesn't take off), help her mother run their bakery, join a lot of extracurriculars, be the most helpful, and have the perfect image. A lot of this gets exacerbated by her rivalry with her classmate Julius. Julius is charismatic and well-liked without having to put a lot of effort into it. The only one he isn't using his charms on is Sadie. She hates it, but she is determined not to break her collected façade, even when she is boiling over with rage. The only time she doesn't put on a brave face and let's out all she's feeling, is when she channels all this rage into replying to her emails... and then never sending the reply. Instead, these passionate rants sit in her drafts. When these replies accidentally get sent, it sends Sadie in a spiral. All her perfectly crafted balance and image is now shattered. The book follows how she copes with that. As everyone now already knows all the worst thoughts she has about them, Sadie starts to drop her façade from time to time, learning that she doesn't have to cater to everyone's whims for them to like them, but people might just like her for who she actually is. The biggest change comes in her relationship to Julius, who most of the mad emails were about. When we first meet him, he accuses Sadie of being fake, and when Sadie drops her friendly demeanor, she realizes that it's much more fun fighting back than just taking what he throws her. She starts liking to fight with him, and maybe even liking him. But going from rivals to friends or even more is not so easy when you've been fighting for a long time. I really enjoy rivals-to-lovers stories, so this story was a perfect fit for me. It's cute, well-written and fast-paced, with an interesting cast of characters even beyond Sadie and Julius (even though the others are not much of a focus). The romance goes hand-in-hand with Sadie's character development, which makes this in parts a coming-of-age story as well. She learns a lot of lessons about her place in the world, without this being fully separate from the romance or it being only a secondary effect of the romance. With stories where the romantic leads start off fighting or hating each other, it's always a delicate balance for a romance to not fall into toxic stereotypes (not that those cannot be fun to read) or skip a few steps in the development. "I hope this doesn't find you" managed to do this very well, showing us where the conflict stemmed from on both sides, having both be equally invested in this rivalry and their fights then turning to debates and later to conversations. The story also hits a few of the more clichéd tropes that I'm not as big of a fan of, but the important development is still done in ways that feel very true to the characters that this didn't even bother me much. Can and will recommend this book.
I have never devoured a book as happily as this one omg it was beyond amazing?!?!
⤷‧₊˚ ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ ⭑ “And now there’s you. This whole time, it’s been you, and I didn’t even realize. In retrospect, it makes sense, doesn’t it? In order to beat the enemy, you have to understand them intimately. You have to observe them, learn their weaknesses, memorize their every word, track their progress, predict their next move. For ten years I thought I was preparing to destroy you, when really I was preparing to love you.” shut up omg i can’t this was adorable. i’m really glad to gave this book a second chance because wow. this author has such a beautiful writing style, i can't wait to read if you could see the sun. “You were right, Sadie Wen. I am completely, helplessly obsessed with you. Love, Julius” julius is such a sweetheart literally the perfect book boyfriend and sadie was so relatable even though i had a lot of trouble liking them at first, it changes so quickly and now i’m obsessed with them.
This book was so funny but also adorably cute
„Rejection is the most humiliating form of defeat. It’s losing the battle before it’s even begun. It’s lowering your weapon so they can spear you in the chest” - The hate letters came a bit short tbh. But it really seemed like another version of ‘To all the boys I’ve loved before’
Rating: 3.5 An enemies to lovers story which was decent to read but not very believable. The characters in this book have their own quirks to make them standup, and the main character herself is an overachiever who worked very hard to get where she was. Her rival is a guy who seems to be effortlessly perfect and has been a thorn in her side since she was nine. Yet, despite the scathing emails she has written, this somehow pivots them away from rivalry and into a romance that just immediately ignites despite years of disinterest. Basically, if you want a fluffy quick romance, then this is up your alley. More of a slow-burner myself.
I loved everything in this wow. I’ll always be obsessed with this couple . I finished this Book so fast i even preordered her newest Book to get a sequel of this Book. Cuties hihi 😆
