Review:

This is by far my favorite enemies to lovers book. I love the main characters, and their story is so cute. I always forget that the epilogue is in a completely different book, so I was disappointed when it didn’t play. The ending is absolutely the cutest part. This book is entirely toxic if you take it at face value. It would never fly in real life, but that’s part of the charm. I really wish the epilogue was in this book because it gives a satisfying end to the story. It is such a good book that I have read a thousand times and will read a thousand more.

Trigger Warnings:
Ableism, Bullying, Emotional abuse, Fatphobia Profanity, Sexual assault, Sexual harassment, and Sexually explicit scenes,

Synopsis From Book:

Nemesis (n.) 1) An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome. 2) A person’s undoing 3) Joshua Templeman Lucy Hutton has always been certain that the nice girl can get the corner office. She’s charming and accommodating and prides herself on being loved by everyone at Bexley & Gamin. Everyone except for coldly efficient, impeccably attired, physically intimidating Joshua Templeman. And the feeling is mutual. Trapped in a shared office together 40 (OK, 50 or 60) hours a week, they’ve become entrenched in an addictive, ridiculous never-ending game of one-upmanship. There’s the Staring Game. The Mirror Game. The HR Game. Lucy can’t let Joshua beat her at anything—especially when a huge new promotion goes up for the taking. If Lucy wins this game, she’ll be Joshua’s boss. If she loses, she’ll resign. So why is she suddenly having steamy dreams about Joshua, and dressing for work like she’s got a hot date? After a perfectly innocent elevator ride ends with an earth-shattering kiss, Lucy starts to wonder whether she’s got Joshua Templeman all wrong. Maybe Lucy Hutton doesn’t hate Joshua Templeman. And maybe, he doesn’t hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game.
