The premise of this book sounded interesting, and I enjoy an enemies-to-lovers story. However, the two main characters of this book are just intolerable and I disliked them immensely. I usually like characters that are sarcastic with rough edges that can cut deep, but both Troy Babilonia and L. Blackburn are not just jerks, but pompous jerks with overinflated egos. The writing style of Andrea Smith and Eva LeNoir is not bad, but there were a lot of passages where L. Blackburn and Troy Babilonia would have preachy moments talking about the reviewing process and author’s writing process that felt like the Smith and LeNoir were discussing their viewpoints and justifications for how authors write and reviewers review. Overall, this book could have been so much better, but it fell flat.
The narration was done by Joel Leslie, and he was wonderful. He was the only redeeming factor for this book, and I quite enjoyed his performance.
