//Book Review//

🌻This book is a cute rom-com that fills one with delight. With a humorous plotline that took a tense turn for our main character Max when he accidentally gets Aaron, our angry basketball player who just wants his underwear back, kicked off the basketball team because of a serious pranked he pulled. This is story of how their animosity turns into attraction and Soon when he have to make a choice between chasing his dreams in Silicon Valley when he gets accepted to a prestigious startup incubator or continuing taking a chance on his growing feelings for Aaron. Reading this book felt like a fluffy college romance with twists like the once I see in k-dramas.

🌻Like rose garden is filled with thorns so is love it hasn't always been merry for everyone but at the end it is worth trying for because even when it breaks you at the end it will heal you fine like that this book and their story is an amalgamation of sweet, charming and inspiring spheres of life. Honestly the story felt like a movie with some dramatic cliches and I enjoyed reading it.
🌈

🌻I might be one of the few people who loves insta-love trope and was so intrigue that this one has that alongside that the other tropes includes enemies to friends to lovers, sports and tech representations, Chinese-Filipino representation and lgbtq rep (MM) all these threaded together in this enjoyable clean new adult college romance book that I would recommend to anyone who is interested in reading books of the aforementioned tropes.
🌈

🌻Overall this book was an enjoyable contemporary romance book. The narrative was lucid with easy usage of language which also makes it a beginner's friendly. Nicely plotted mild paced story. Some scenes felt a little undercooked but I really enjoyed reading about Max's character and how two of them keep finding themselves tangled in increasingly amusing and bizarre situations all over campus. Will recommend to everyone who loves reading books of this genre.
