Synopsis

In this sharply funny solo debut, an aspiring lawyer is forced to work alongside the opposing counsel in her best friend’s divorce case, which leads to the biggest irreconcilable difference of all: love.

Beatrice Nilsson is what some might call “feisty” (those who love her) and others “combative” (those who don’t). But no matter what you call her, she’s a good lawyer and an even better friend. So when the marriage of her two closest pals ends in divorce, Bea picks a side and storms the office of attorney Nathan Asher to tell him exactly what he can do with his alimony petition. Unfortunately, what should end with a few choice words soon spirals into uncharted territory when Nate shows up at her NYU Law office a few days later as a newly-minted adjunct professor—and her new colleague.

Bea still hates Nathan, of course. But between weekly meetings and networking events, walks around Washington Square Park and late-night pizza, that hate begins to feel a lot like something else. And as uncomfortable truths emerge about the divorce that started it all, she might have to choose between her friends’ happily ever after and her own for the very first time.

I absolutely devoured this book in a single sitting! This book was perfectly FREAKING romantic! What I loved… - flawed and relatable MCs - TENSION A+++++++++++++ - no really - this author should teach a class on writing tension! - slow-burn 🔥 - FMC that is extra relatable for the girlies who’ve been tol......more

4 Stars This was exactly what I wanted it to be: a light, thoughtful romance with some humor and some hate-to-love goodness. I also really like the academic/law atmosphere and the cast of characters in general. Some readers will understandably find the lead character, Bea, to be a little much. A litt......more

Goodreads review by Brittany on January 18, 2025

The FMC was exhausting, I don’t even understand what redeeming qualities the MMC found in her. It was a continuous conversation of her being the smartest person in the room and referring to the seemingly nice MMC as an “a$/h@;/“ - I mean I think I read that phrase at least 100 times throughout the b......more
