Release Date: May 4, 2020; Entangled: Crush
From Goodreads:
Mai Senn knows Anthony Adams is no good for her - no matter how hard she might crush on him. She’s valedictorian; he’s a surf bum. She’s got plans, he’s got his art. Complete opposites in every way. Vinegar and baking soda, they once joked. A chemical reaction that bubbled.
Yeah, they bubbled. Maybe still do.
Good thing Anthony’s got the perfect plan: two weeks to prove just how not good they are together. Whoever can come up with the worst date—something the other will seriously hate, proving how incompatible they truly are—wins.
Like taking a snake-phobe to the Reptile House at the zoo (his idea).
Or a cooking class where they don’t even get to eat the food (her idea).
Rating: 3 of 5 stars
I actually really liked this but did not end up loving it as I expected. The chemistry was on fire, the banter was swoony, the writing (unsurprisingly) was amazing. But mother eff, this was probably the most frustrating book I've ever read. I don't know why, but the back and forth about Mai and Anthony's feelings with each other just pissed me off. The repetivive "we can't be together because we have nothing in common but holy sh*t we can't stop thinking about each other and kissing". Ugh. I'm sorry. I really, really wanted to love this but I just couldn't. BUT. If you enjoyed Announcing Trouble (like I did), you should definitely check out this one.
I received an arc to read and review via Netgalley.
