Synopsis

Oscar is a grouch. That’s a well-established fact among his tight-knit friend group, and they love him anyway. Jack is an ass. Jack, who’s always ready with a sly insult, who can’t have a conversation without arguing, and who Oscar may or may not have hooked up with on a strict no-commitment, one-time-only basis. Even if it was extremely hot. Together, they’re a bickering, combative mess. When Oscar is fired (answering phones is not for the anxiety-ridden), he somehow ends up working for Jack. Maybe while cleaning out Jack’s grandmother’s house they can stop fighting long enough to turn a one-night stand into a frenemies-with-benefits situation. The house is an archaeological dig of love and dysfunction, and while Oscar thought he was prepared, he wasn’t. It’s impossible to delve so deeply into someone’s past without coming to understand them at least a little, but Oscar has boundaries for a reason—even if sometimes Jack makes him want to break them all down. After all, hating Jack is less of a risk than loving him…

On one hand, I found this book to be relentlessly exhausting to read, even to the point that I dreaded picking it up to continue reading it. However, on the flip side, I thought it was an exceedingly......more

Goodreads review by Mariah on April 19, 2021

ARC courtesy of the publisher via NetGalley. First things first: This book isn't a feel good romance. It's not going to follow that almost cookie cutter recipe we've see a thousand times. It's not going to progress in the way you want it to, it just *is*. It's definitely not the adorable, heart warming......more

Goodreads review by Anniek on March 10, 2021

This book is going to be perfect for people who love the grumpy x grumpy dynamic, two people who fight all the time but still they're cute together. I've been really looking forward to this book as I loved The Love Study so much and I loved Oscar, I thought he had a lot of potential as a main charac......more

Goodreads review by Pam on October 07, 2021

3.5 stars Kris Ripper writes self-aware characters who are flawed and real and constantly making mistakes while still trying to be better at the whole life/human being thing in a way that just really works for me. Zir found families work well for me, too. Usually this type of group would feel too quir......more
