Fans of Penelope Douglas and Sally Thorne will love this hate to love romance about two people who grew up enemies, but learn there is a fine line between love and hate as adults.

Jesus, que livro intenso! Eu comecei a ler de manhã e só consegui parar quando terminei. A história, logo nos primeiros capítulos, tomou uma direção completamente diferente da que eu esperava. Pensei que seria mais um dos romances clichês de faculdade que eu sempre dou 3 estrelas mas não consigo parar de ler por ser meu guilty pleasure. No entanto, em 25% do livro eu pude perceber que ele era diferente. O romance é principal mas os outros assuntos que são tratados são tão importantes quanto. Perda, dor, solidão, abuso. A evolução de Dusty foi incrível, eu torci muito pela felicidade dela. E me apaixonei por Stone. 
Uma das coisas mais bonitas do livro foi a amizade que a Dusty conquistou com seus colegas de quarto. Precisamos de mais NA assim!

Quickie Review: (May contain spoilers, be responsible in reading this review)

Enemies was a truly fantastic read! I had so much fun reading this one. And reading it made me realize how much I have truly missed reading this author and I definitely need to read her more often. She especially writes such solid angst and it delivered so well on the page. And a FAMILY FEUD....YES sign me up. I actually had no clue going into this book that it had those aspects. The blurb was a bit different than what the story actually was. But despite that I really had a time of my life with this book. They both had such great personalities and seeing them find common ground and get to the truth behind the conflict between them was just right. The only issue that I had with this book was the third act conflict. It was just a bit weird, and the heroine should have done a grovel too in this one. She did some wrong too so it would have been nice if she had done some redemption as well. Overall, I had a blast with this book and was beyond entertaining and if you love contemporary enemies to lovers====READ THIS ONE!! I promise you won't have regrets!

this was my second time reading this, and honestly I liked it better the first time around

I really liked it, but I thought the enemies part didn’t last that long, a little disappointing but I still loved it.

2025: 2 stars. okay i reread this and i don't love it like i did a few years ago. i understand why i ate this up at the time but my second time rereading this, i hate how the plot is basically everything going wrong in the fmc's life (sorry for my girl) and the mmc coming in to save her. 2022: 4 stars (at the time)

"Ghost" by Justin Bieber  The beginning was kinda confusing with the introduction of so many characters but once I got past that, I couldn't put this down!  tbh there's no real plot and i did not care for any of the other side characters, but I LOVE Dusty and Stone <3 they were the only reason I kept reading

This is my first time reading a book written by this author and I will say, I really enjoyed it!! While I do think that the writing in this book somewhat lacked I finished this book in less than 2 days.

So firstly, I really really enjoyed the sport aspects of this book. I am an absolute sucker for a good sport romance so that I really did like. As for the plot, I did like it, but there were times where I felt like the author was really forcing the story a little bit. As for the romance, I also liked, but I have read a lot of AMAZING romances so I wouldn’t say it was my favorite I’ve ever read. This romance was your typical hate to love/but always loved kinda romance. While I definitely don’t mind that at all (infact hate to love is my favorite troupe) , I found the events of this book to be rather predictable. Despite that, I still really really enjoyed reading this book. It was a super quick and addictive read and I really really liked how the author wrapped up the story!!

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I do think I will read more work from this author.

4.5 stars.

I didn’t initially feel this book. I’m a little tired of Tijan always writing these emotionally unavailable girls, and it gets a little one note.
I am SO glad that things develop and change.
I love Stone. I don’t think he’s equal to Mason, but he is a great character.
I love how clear the communication and understanding is between him and Dusty. These two get each other and I loved seeing that.
What I did want more, is more of her roommates. I don’t think they really get the time they deserve and I feel things are a little rushed in regards to them.
I found this book isn’t as clearly thought out as Tijan’s books are, but I still loved it! If you’re a fan, pick this one up!

edit: the other day I thought about this book and I’ve come to the conclusion that it truly is a 2 star read. I cannot give it more than that. 
It really did not strike a chord whatsoever. 

——-

so yes, sort of 3 stars. I had to force myself to finish it, and luckily I did. 
It was pretty much a 2,5 star read for me, but the last epilogue made it a bit better.
Still I had a few issues with this book. It seemed that drama was being added just for the sake of it, and the writing style was not to my taste.
Apparently it didn’t work for me, and I was so hoping it would.

not the enemies to lovers i was expecting it lasted like 2 seconds it’s a really sad story but with a happy ending

I've read this three times. It's a good like 3-4 hour read and stone is definitely swoon worthy.

If you love sports romance I 100% recommend this book! It's been a while since I've read any Tijan books and I don't know why haha. This book rekindled my love for Tijan and I can see myself binge-reading (and rereading) her books!!

Everything I wanted

This book. Ah, this book! This book is everything I wanted when I opened it. I cried, I laughed, I cried some more. I fell in love hard through this book. This will be one I know I will reread over and over. Stone and Dusty will forever be in my heart.

So good! Definitely one of my favorites this year

It seems that Tijan can do no wrong with her books - each book that she's published, I've thoroughly enjoyed.

And that is this book included!

Dusty and Stone used to be neighbours - and friends, but since then life has gotten much more complicated and they are no longer friends nor neighbours. 

But life for Dusty hasn't gotten easier when something detrimental happens and Stone is the only one there for her..

The audiobook was great 🤩!
But the actual story is a 3 stars, so i'm giving it a 4 stars.
I liked the couple, but i wasn't swooning 
That being said i listened to it in less than 24h, and it took me out of a reading slump. Thanks for that!

This went a lot deeper than I expected it to be, but it also made me laugh out loud!
