I'll definitely be going back to Brynne Weaver's books (especially Tourist Season), but this novella was a great wrap up for the Ruinous Love trilogy!

This story was told in relationships: family, friends, roommates, marriage and all the different combinations. I loved the writing in this book and the way it evoked the emotions of a moment as opposed to only narrating the action.

Plus Barbara, you can't forget Barbara 😂

Viola spent years thinking Jessie hated her, but never had a chance to confront him until their companies were competing for the chance to design a new video game based on their favorite book. I love a good enemies to lovers story especially when you add forced proximity and some mutual pining!
