Thank you so much to NetGalley & this author for a chance to read & review and ARC! What a debut novel! The slow burn of this rivals to lovers romance was *chefs kiss*! Truly just had me anxiously awaiting for their moment to come! The thin line between love & hate doesn’t get much thinner than in this story. The banter was so good! I loved the unique storyline & the way the author wrapped things up in the end. One of my favorite parts was Christmas Eve / Christmas Day. 🥹 Just such a heartwarming read but with a good bit of angst! Definitely recommend!
