I really enjoyed this book! If you’re looking for a quick, dual POV rom com this is the book for you!
Tropes: Enemies to lovers, slow burn, opposites attract

Isadora spent years working hard and saving money to open up Gertrude’s, a literary bar. She is hopeful the book bar will be a hit in this small town. Her hopes are rattled when she learns Chuck McCaffrey is opening a sports bar, right next door. Chuck is the son of a wealthy ex-football player who seemingly had everything handed to him his whole life. Isadora and Chuck immediately bump heads. The story follows the two as they battle it out, who will have the better bar? Who will attract the most customers?

The banter between Isadora and Chuck had me giggling throughout. The “enemies” of their enemies to lovers’ dynamic is very playful. This book definitely has the vibes of early 2000’s rom com, making it really enjoyable to read.

I love the few glimpses we get with Isadora and her father, one of my favorite quotes from her dad was, “Who loves you even half as much as I do. Because half of-” “Infinity is still infinity,” I finish.” It is a nice contrast to Chuck and his father’s own relationship.

I also enjoyed Chuck’s character development throughout the book while he tries to navigate what he wants out of life, without his dad opinions weighing on him.

This book overall is a fun rom com experience. And I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a swoon worthy book!
