I’ve never laughed so hard as I did while reading this one. It’s the perfect summer read for 2022 so make sure you all add it to your TBR. The main characters were lovable, the plot was amusing and the pacing was sheer perfection. Not too slow, not too fast. I couldn’t have asked for a better romcom to break up my fantasy and thriller reads.

Lucas and Posy meet up again after ten years. All has not gone as swimmingly since they were head boy and head girl at school. Coming from such different backgrounds. They were enemies at school. Will this be an enemies to lovers story? I did find their plan for success to be stretching credibility a little but their fake engagement did give lots of opportunities for some humour. You also see some character development through their twin points of view as their relationship moves on. This is a light, entertaining read so long as you can go along with the basic premise of the story.

Thanks to the publisher for a copy of the book

The Reunion was a cute story and a quick and easy read. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

This was a cute read. It was very surface-level, which is just what you need sometimes when reading a rom-com!

I didn't love this book as much as I thought I would have.
It was advertised as Enemies to Lovers, which I usually love, but I felt like this missed the angst of the enemies to lovers plot. There was also 'marriage of convenience', which I'm not a huge fan of.
The book is a VERY slow burn, which I found dragged at times and I often found myself getting bored.
The characters were badly written and I didn't see much development in any of them.
I really wanted to love this book but it just didn't do it for me, it took me a few months to finish it if I'm honest and I had to keep forcing myself to go back to it.

Tropes: enemies to lovers and marriage of
convenience
This is a dual pov, enemies to lovers romance between
two former high school rivals. Posy and Lucas were
complete opposites in high school and after meeting
again years later at their school reunion, it seems as
though nothing has changed. When Posy gets cut off
from her family's money and Lucas's business is
months away from failing, the two decide to enter into a
marriage of convenience thinking it will solve both of
their problems.
The romance is a slow burn with the leads not getting
together until over halfway through the book. I love a
good marriage of convenience but this book slightly
missed the mark for me. I would've liked to see more of
Posy and Lucas warming up to one another before
getting together.

The reunion was a great concept and have everything I usually love in a book - enemies to lovers, slow burns, etc. Unfortunately it couldn't get me all the way there. I didn't love our main heroine, and it didn't matter much how much I learned about her I never fully could sympathize. And all though it was a slow burn, I feel like the romance went form 0 for most of the book, to 100 for the last part.

I really enjoyed this read. Although it was a little predictable, it also deserved a nice chuckle here and there. I would recommend this romcom

This is a dual POV, enemies to lovers romance between two past high school rivals. I just loved Posy and Lucas even with their flaws. I liked how they were able to get to know the person they believed they hated at school. In the end, this was not the same typical romance I did find myself liking the uniqueness of it.

The blurb made me curious and I was curious how this arrangement will work out.

The author really surprised me with the plot. Especially how the protagonists have developed in the few weeks.

Here you read about a chaotic planning and a great enemies to lovers story.

I was very entertained by the book.

Have fun reading!

I LOVE opposites attract! Unfortunately, I didn’t like the characters so this one made it hard for me to enjoy. I was hoping for a bit more Tessa Bailey humor like the description said.

Thank you for the eARC in exchange for an honest review

I enjoyed this for the most part, it’s an enemies-to-lovers / fake-marriage trope where Posy who has recently been cut off by her Dad, meets her former classmate Lucas who has a struggling business, at a high school reunion. It’s a bit of a slow burn and I thought the writing was good, but the characters felt unlikeable and the chemistry wasn’t always there.

This book got better as it went along. At first I was annoyed by the characters, but that was also kind of the point. LOL. As the book moves along you find more of the characters' humanities and why they are the way they are. I never fell truly in love with them, but it was still a delightful book to read!

I love my romcoms but sadly, I really struggled with this one. It was hard to get into the story, the characters were unlikable (especially Posy) and to be fair, I didn't feel all that excited about her getting a happy ending. I ended up skimming to finish this one.

A nice easy rom com read. I love the description as enemies to lovers. Posy and Lucas were headboy and headgirl at their posh school 12 years ago. Lucas was the son of staff members and went by the unfortunate nickname of "Helpboy". He pushed himself academically and always felt there was something to prove. Now running a wealth management company, he needs clients to keep it afloat, so heads to the school reunion. Posy's dad is a multi millionaire and she coasted through school and life. With no purpose beyond partying, her father has finally given her an ultimatum and cut off her allowance. So how can she get to Hawaii to a photography exhibition where she can prove her worth? Will joining forces in a marriage scam help Posy and Lucas? But what happens when they (inevitably) fall in love for real? This was a lovely, fun read. #netgalley #thereunion

I really didn’t mind this book! It wasn’t great, and the characters felt a bit too stereotypical for my liking, but it was cute and an easy read.

Lucas and Posy do not like each other. They were head boy and head girl of their high school, but they went very different ways afterwards. Lucas is a businessman looking to grow his business, and Posy is a wannabe photographer living with her dad and using his money for… everything. But when her father cuts her off and he needs some more clients and more money, they agree to follow through on a little-known bylaw that could prove mutually beneficial. The school promised that if their head boy and girl got married, the school would pay for it. So, if Lucas agrees to marry Posy and go to a photography fair in Hawaii for their “anniversary,” she will use her connections to find him more clients.

This was a very quick read for me. But it didn’t stick in my brain. When I finished the book, I felt finished thinking about it and the characters and plot. It was fine, but felt stilted and wasn’t anything special. I love a fun romcom, and this was one, but it was an average one.

Thank you to NetGalley and to HarperCollins UK for sending me an advance copy of this book for review!

oh my word! this book is so delicious and fun and exciting!!!!!! please check this one out as soon as it comes to the shelves!! i adored every single second of this book! thank you netgalley!!!!

Unfortunately this story just wasn’t for me and the main reason being that I found Posy to be a highly unlikeable character who acted very spoilt and to be honest was a bit of a bully. I just couldn’t grow to like her and I didn’t feel that she grew as a character or redeemed herself at all. She is actually just quite horrible.

I’m actually quite sad about this as it has enemies to lovers and fake dating but it just wasn’t for me!

A fun book that was a little slow to start with but once I had got into it I enjoyed it.

a fake date story about Posy who was the popular girl at school and Lucas who was the polor opposite.

Will this work out?

fun

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.

I started reading this book on a lunch break at work and then had to spend my whole evening reading to get it finished, it's safe to say I was hooked!

I just loved Posy and Lucas even with their flaws and how they got to know the person they thought they hated at school. I despised the characters with names so fancy I couldn't pronounce them and loved Posy's friend Tara and how she loved her friend fiercely.

This was such a fun read and I can't wait to see what Elizabeth Drummond writes next!
