Review:

There’s nothing wrong with this book it’s just not my style… I didn’t realize how much I rely on multiple perspectives in romance novels especially ones that involve enemies to lovers. This story just delays so one-sidedly so at the end when the love was confessed it felt fake on his end. I actually got annoyed at the main character for being so obsessed with him. If it had multiple perspectives all of those problems would have disappeared. The other thing is I feel like there were a lot of plot devices that were useless to moving the story forward. And some of those things also caused major plot holes. This was a good book, but I just couldn’t get into the style.

Trigger Warnings:
None

Synopsis From Book:

High efficiency break-ups, flashy start-ups, penthouses, fast cars…these are the things Hudson Craft believes in. His app, Break Up, is known as the “Uber for break-ups.” It’s wildly successful—and anathema to Annika’s life philosophy. Which wouldn’t be a problem if they’d gone their separate ways after that summer fling in Las Vegas, never to see each other again. Unfortunately for Annika, Hudson’s moving not just into her office building, but into the office right next to hers. And he’ll be competing at the prestigious EPIC investment pitch contest: A contest Annika needs to win if she wants to keep Make Up afloat. As if it’s not bad enough seeing his irritatingly perfect face on magazine covers when her own business is failing. As if knowing he stole her idea and twisted it into something vile—and monumentally more successful—didn’t already make her stomach churn. As the two rival app developers clash again and again—and again—Annika finds herself drawn into Hudson Craft’s fast-paced, high velocity, utterly shallow world. Only, from up close, he doesn’t seem all that shallow. Could it be that everything she thought about Hudson is completely wrong? Could the creator of Break Up teach her what true love’s really about?
