Enemies to lovers perfection 💙 Margot and Jackson live across the hall from each other in college dorms - from day one, they hate each other and go tit for tat constantly. Eventually they realise they’re enjoying this a bit too much and that they don’t hate each other after all!

The romantic (and sexual) tension in this is off the scale. It’s kind of a slow burn in their journey to real feelings, but also to the physical element of their attraction as well. It’s just so very readable - the chapters are short and gripping and it quickly becomes a compulsive page turner! Loved this and so excited to read a sequel 🥰

What to expect:

- enemies to lovers
- college romance
- forced proximity
- quite spicy

4.25/4.5 ⭐️

I really just ate this one up! I really really enjoyed it and felt like i was sucked into the characters and the story from the first chapter!

This is definitely my favorite book by this author - it gives YA vibes, but also gives spice and some older vibes as well. Chapters are short and things are always happening to keep the pacing up and you hooked.

I don’t necessarily think that it is enemies to lovers - it’s more just wrong first impression but it doesn’t bother me! The banter is top notch because they don’t like each other at first!

I would love to see more of their story as well as their roommate’s stories as well.

It was a nice story and easy read . I enjoyed the dual POVs and characters dynamic. Nice amount of banter and enjoyed the enemies to lovers trope. Thank you NetGalley for this ARC

I always find requesting a book by an author you dont know to be somewhat risky... Is that the game of requesting ARCs? Yes of course... But still! And then you find a book you really really like! And its worth reading several mediocre ones!

This was SUPER CUTE! The banter between the 2 was amazing! Had me hooked from the start and I read it super quickly.
This is an enemies to lovers, just one bed, the best friends are really sweet and I'm pretty sure we can say he falls first...
Or at least he's ready to admit it first.
You have chapters from her and his point of view alternating.
They are 18 but it reads older in my opinion.
Oh and there is a playlist!!!

Fair warning, even though there is a proper ending we get a "to be continued..."

6 STARS. 6 OUT OF 5 STARS.
This book. THIS BOOK.

I saw this book on NetGalley and put in a request, then completely forgot about NetGalley (Sorry NetGalley - Got swept into ACOTAR!). I re-discovered this book after stumbling across it when I was checking my downloads. I WISH I HAD NOT FORGOT ABOUT IT.

I read this book in two sittings - (Not by choice! Would have read it in one!) - I fell asleep in the wee depths of the morning (2 am - whoops!) with my kindle open.

This book is my teenage Wattpad dreams on steroids, AND I LOVED IT. This book is perfection.

Jackson is my newest and favorite book boyfriend to date. He's a broody musician who is chasing his dreams while being forced to go to college to satisfy his father. Margot is the girl-next-door (literally!) who has dreams of becoming a successful journalist and living life to the fullest with her best friend & roommate, Rae.

During Margot & Rae's first night in the dorms, their neighbor is playing his guitar loudly through the night. Margot confronts their neighbor, Jackson, and asks him to stop playing the guitar in the wee hours of the morning, but he refuses. Thus, the enemies-to-lovers begins! Rae starts dating Jackson's childhood bestie & roommate, Matt, which makes Jackson & Margot's dynamic all the more complex as the couple wants their best friends around (forced proximity!). The more and more time Jackson & Margot spend around each other the more and more, they recognize the electric chemistry between the two of them.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR BOOK #2!

Here we have a solid 3 stars read for me. The story was good and easy to read.

The characters was alright but I didn't fancy them so much (I thought I would).
I had very high hopes and it was alright but not enough to be a 3,5-4 stars.

this was very much a slowburn that I enjoyed. two flawed complicated characters, I loved the journey.

I received this as an ARC read but only a couple days before release. I read it as fast as I could but this is late for sure so I apologize!

Let me just start by saying, I LOVED this book! And when is the next one coming out?! To be continued… has me wondering what’s next for Margot and Jackson ☺️

This book grabbed my attention right away, which really does not happen often for me. Even with my favorite authors. The tension, the living across the hall banter, Rae and matt, all of it was great. Personally I think college settings are my favorite, maybe because it’s so easy to relate to?

Really looking forward to more!

I thought I would love this; I enjoyed Heather Garvin's other books. I found this one oddly immature and didn't like either main character.

🎸BOOK REVIEW🎸

Just Don’t Call Me Yours - Heather Garvin
Genre: Romance
Publication Date: March 11th 2024
Rating: ★★★★★

A college romance, with enemies to lovers involving a guitarist in a band and a Swiftie??? Absolutely sign me up!

JDCMY is Garvin at her best. I’ve read almost all of her books and enjoyed every one but this one was extra special. The banter between Margot and Jackson was perfect. It had just the right amount of spice for me. AND THAT ENDING! I got literal chills when my brain started putting together what was going on.

If you’re a romance reader you absolutely have to pick this one up. Especially since there is a sequel coming in September!! And it’s now available on Kindle Unlimited!

Thank you Heather and NetGalley for the eARC! I will definitely be purchasing a physical copy of this one for my collection!

I won’t be reviewing this one on my public platforms (Goodreads + TikTok) as I unfortunately DNFed at 13%
Here are my personal reasons:
- I definitely wouldn’t call this ‘enemies to lovers’. Their initial spat could’ve been dealt with and solved with the first page or two realistically. Both characters chose to act like absolute children and the way Jackson just closed to door on Margot when she had a VERY valid complaint that even he mentally thought about, gave me a massive ick.
- After being introduced to the 2 main characters and their best friends, Margot then meets some other girls in the dorm. This felt very odd as we’ve literally JUST been introduced to the setting and these characters, and now we’re already moving on to meeting new people? It was just very odd timing to me.
- At 13%, I DNFed because I just KNEW I wouldn’t be able to handle the constant bickering, jabs, and trying to annoy the other that the main characters were doing. It just felt so immature and childish. We’re arguing over the fact that he was playing his guitar LOUDLY at 2am and she asked him to stop… It’s a very weak beginning and not a very strong disagreement for BOTH main characters to be so mad and annoyed at the other.

The intrigue is definitely there. I do want to know how to characters resolve their disagreement with each other and also their own internal struggle with belonging and just overall life really. But I just truly don’t think I’d be able to appreciate their romance at this current stage.

4⭐️- rockstar romance, enemies to lovers and next door neighbours? So many amazing tropes in one book and Heather Garvin delivered them all perfectly, this was such a fun read! The story starts with the two main characters Jackson and Margot having instant drama after just moving into their college dorm, then their best friends start dating and they’re suddenly forced into spending a lot more time together.

I felt like Jackson and Margot were complete opposites when I first started reading, thinking it was no surprise they constantly clashed! But the more I read, it quickly became clear they were a lot more similair than either of them realised. They both came from a family who didn’t accept their passions in life and I loved how they were able to celebrate these things for each other over the book. The tension and banter in this was perfection and Heather developed the side characters so well too.

I’m so excited for book two! There’s a lot more to Jackson and Margot’s story and I can’t wait to find out more 🎸

I could not put this book down, it took me by surprise at how much I enjoyed it!
this enemies to lovers story was filled with witty banter and had me chuckling all through.
I will be keeping an eye out for this author and reading whatever else she writes as I enjoyed her writing style so much.
This college based romance was fun, sexy, witty and so charming!

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley and provide my honest review

binge-worthy, witty, captivating. Loved loved loved this story and the characters. Even swoon worthy moments that made me jealous of the characters in the book. Can’t wait to read more from this author!

The story of Margot and Jackson. They meet when they live opposite each other in college and he does nothing but annoy her. A fun read, I liked how it was told from both points of view.

What a refreshing read! I really enjoyed reading this, and finished it pretty quickly which is awesome because I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump. Jackson and Margot reminded me of myself at that age, when the world is huge and the future stretches wide open and love (and lust) is EVERYTHING. I really enjoyed the friendships between Margot and Rae, and Jackson and Matt too. The author did a brilliant job of creating realistic characters and friendships. The spice was perfect, as was the banter. Nothing to complain about here. Thanks Netgalley and the publisher.

I love Heather Garvin so much. I believe this is my fifth book of hers and I liked all of them so much except Crossing the Line which was still fine to me. But honestly I really enjoy her writing style, the characters are always very lovable and fun and there is always drama and action in her books. This one might be my new favorite even though I am NOT usually a rockstar romance girl😊

I love music and reading and this book perfectly combines the two!
Heather Garvin absolutely hit it out of the park with this book!
Jackson and Margot have the perfect banter and I’m a sucker for an Enemies to Lovers troupe.
Can’t wait to read more by this author!
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!

Devoured this in one day!
I wasn’t so sure how to feel about this book in the beginning but it quickly became such a fun and easy read. This book had me giggling and blushing and reminiscing on my college dorm days for real!! The banter was amazing, the music aspect was a little cheesy for me not gonna lie, but I thought it was cute because sharing music was definitely the main source of flirtation as a freshman in college. Overall, this is something I’d recommend to friends for a fun read!

Thanks to NetGallery and Heather Garvin for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review 😊

Margot Reid has everything ready to start freshman year at college with her best friend Rae. What she didn't expect was to have to put up with her hallway neighbor's music at all hours. Jackson Phillips dreams of being a musician someday, and not even the grumpy, pretty girl who complains about the noise can destroy that dream. Although neither of them can stand each other, when their best friends start dating, they are forced to "tolerate" each other. Their attraction to each other is obvious. But everything gets complicated when Jackson gets the opportunity to go on tour with a band and become famous.
What are we going to find in this book?
💘 College romance
😒 Dislike to lovers
👥 Forced proximity
🎸 He’s a musician
❤️ He falls first
👫 Dual POV
📖 Short chapters
This story is adorable. Margot decides to leave the pressure of her parents and break up with her boyfriend and start afresh in college studying what she is really passionate about, and Jackson is forced to go there by his parents, who don't approve of him going into music. Despite the fact that at the beginning they can't stand each other, they soon start to understand each other. Even Margot is interested in Jackson's music, and this means a lot to him.
It's very easy to empathize with these two characters, as they both have future plans made, but deep down neither has anything clear, and even less so after they begin to get intimate and fall in love.
The interactions between them have been a lot of fun, and you really get to see that moment when the transition from hate to love happens. I also loved Rae and Matt, they have a beautiful and very healthy relationship, and Matt's parents and grandmother are wonderful! 🥰
I would have liked more group moments with Izzy and Jess, as they are introduced as new friendships at the beginning (and all swifties, yay!), but then they go a bit unnoticed. It has also happened with Jackson's band, and I'm really excited to find out more about the members.
The ending has a little cliffhanger, so I need to read the second one to find out what's in store for these two. I'm really looking forward to it! 😍
All in all, it's a very cute and entertaining book, perfect for fangirling over having a musician boyfriend who loves Arctic Monkeys and listens to Taylor Swift because she reminds him of you 💜
