A cute romance about two people at the opposite ends of gentrification argument. Was fairly quick to get through. The chemistry between Rashida and Elliot was alright but did not make me desperately want them together. Overall it was interesting enough and I would recommend to others.

**ARC from NetGalley**. 628 page ebook. Super cute book with spicy scenes in at as well. I loved reading this book. It had fun characters and plot points, keeping me interested as I was reading. I liked both of the main characters as you learn more about each one and their growing relationship. You also see a little more into their own family relationships and the changes that happen in those throughout the book as well. I loved the epilogue and the fact that it took place a few years after the events in this story. It showed you farther into their relationship and it was super adorable. The book was a fun and cute read, and I would definitely read more from this author.

Thank you Entangled Publishing and NetGalley an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This was a cute, sweet and fun enemies to lovers read where I found both the MC's, Elliot and Rashida to be engaging and entertaining. The writing is refreshing and there were times when I simply couldn't get enough of the strong chemistry between the lead pair. I did feel that the story was quite predictable and there weren't many things that surprised me or kept me on edge. Overall, this felt like the perfect spring afternoon read to bring that warm smile to your face.

The hookup dilemma was a fun and easily digestible dive into gentrification. I enjoyed the story; especially having all the characters clearly discuss what they thought was best for the beloved neighborhood. Loved the ending, Is it silly to hope this could happen in all “up and coming” neighborhoods? I found some of the dialogue to be awkward and the chemistry a bit forced. Will look out for Constance books in the future, not sure if I will recommend this one.

Rashida is a food critic and she's fighting to keep her grandmother community from the big business. Elliot is helping his dad after a heart attack and is leading the project. Little do they know that they should be enemies when they meet in a bar.

I loved these two together. They had good chemistry and sex. They went from lovers to enemies to lovers. Haha.

Although I love the artwork cover, I do wish Rashida was a little more curvy as described in the book.

All in all a great book

Definitely a cute book. The romance was cute, entertaining and definitely fun to read. I found the characters both fine individually, but I definitely liked Eliott more. Rashida annoyed me a bit sometimes, but that had its reasons within the plot. Speaking off, I think the plot could have been better and more entertaining because apart from the character interactions I sometimes found myself bored. I feel like this book felt the same as many others I've read, and it lacked some uniqueness.
Still, if you like your cute romance books you will surely enjoy this.

I was thoroughly entranced by this book. The story line is funny and sad and cleverly written.
The Hookup Dilemma is a sweet, charming, fun, not to mention sexy. Their romance was great, remarkable and charismatic, and they made a great couple.
It was funny and lighthearted and so clever, I really enjoyed getting to know the characters.
Rashida and Elliott's characters are freaking amazing! I just loved these two together and Elliot is everything..... Swooning over here! I could feel the connection with these two! Loved it!
Rashida... what's not to love with her???! A badass lady for sure!
The writing for this book was refreshing and there were plenty of times that I had that stupid smile on my face because of how lovey the characters were. Amazing story!

Thanks again NetGalley, Publisher and Author for the chance to read and review this amazing book!
I'll post to my Social media platforms closer to pub date!
