It breaks my heart to say this, but I couldn’t finish this book😭 Sunny Disposition is one of my favorite books of all time and I also really enjoyed Team Players, so I just knew I was going to love this, but I didn’t🥺

First lemme say that I absolutely LOVED Sage! She was everything! But I didn’t like Noah. She’s the one that looks all sweet, but she’s consistently mean & rude to Sage. This is why I hardly ever enjoy enemies to lovers because there’s always a character who I hate because they’re the problem. I thought I’d enjoy rivals to lovers better because I assumed they would be equal with the rude & it might be more on the fun side, but no it’s just Noah who’s mean. I know her rudeness comes from insecurity, but that doesn’t make it any better. I don’t root for their relationship. Sage deserves better. The book didn’t feel fun at all. Sunny Disposition & Team Players both had emotional parts, but were pretty fun & lighthearted as well, this was not. Also, the scenes were just sooo long to me that the book was dragging. 

BUT I still love you Sage & I still love Deanna Grey. I’m still HIGHLY anticipating Safety Net, the 3rd book in the Mendell Hawks series, next year🤞🏽
