Fiction. Literature. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:

Now a movie starring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell, USA Today bestselling author Sally Thorne's hilarious and sexy workplace comedy all about that thin, fine line between hate and love.

Nemesis (n.) 1) An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome.

2) A person's undoing

3) Joshua Templeman

Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman hate each other. Not dislike. Not begrudgingly tolerate. Hate. And they have no problem displaying their feelings through a series of ritualistic passive aggressive maneuvers as they sit across from each other, executive assistants to co-CEOs of a publishing company. Lucy can't understand Joshua's joyless, uptight, meticulous approach to his job. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucy's overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and Pollyanna attitude.

Now up for the same promotion, their battle of wills has come to a head and Lucy refuses to back down when their latest game could cost her her dream job...But the tension between Lucy and Joshua has also reached its boiling point, and Lucy is discovering that maybe she doesn't hate Joshua. And maybe, he doesn't hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game.

I truly for the life of me can’t understand why this book is so highly rated. I’ll admit, I enjoyed the first 100 or so pages. The first 11 chapters to be exact. And then something changed and the next 200+ pages were a slog fest. I wanted to DNF the book some many times but I kept on trucking through. Lucy is not only childish but she’s also ridiculous. And yet somehow in the last 50 pages she grows a spine and stands up to Josh’s dad for him and then everything else gets wrapped up in a neat little bow. I really wanted to love this book but I just can’t. ( )

this was a really fun enemies-to-lovers story. So if that's your jam - nemesis turned forbidden office romance - this will be just for you. I really enjoyed the main character; her internal monologue was funny and quirky. ( )

I am obsessed with this book and I am even obsessed with the movie (it is my new guilty pleasure) but by no means is the movie better than the book. Sometimes I wonder if Hollywood ever actually reads the books they turn into movies. I mean seriously you can have a 3 hour transformer movie from a 30 minute cartoon, a 3 hour movie for Harry potter but you cut so many awesome parts of this beautifully, fun, sassy, and romantic book.
I don't typically read books with romance in it at least not books that the main premises is romance at least I don't think so but this here got me hooked❤️❤️❤️.
I love the chemistry between Josh and Lucy, the enemies to lovers is well played here.
I laughed, I teared up and just had my heart melted away reading this. I could've read this in a day but honestly I kept prolonging it because I didn't want it to end. I would reread this over and over again.

❤️ romance
❤️ sass
❤️ mild spice
❤️ loveable characters

highly recommend to all my romance book readers !!! ( )

A cute, quick yet intense office romance to fill the time. Character development was interesting. An enjoyable read. ( )

At the moment the real world is stressing me out so much that I need to ready books that are like candy so I'm in a fluffy romance phase. This one is a slow burning office romance between co-workers who share a cube and "hate" each other.

It's totally predictable and quite sweet in places especially if you are into the Clark Kent type. If you are into kissing....this is totally your book. I did not love the very very end because I felt like it sped through the resolution we'd been waiting for for so long. This is pretty much exactly what I want in a romance. Quirky, smart, nice people with fun banter and some wholesome sex. ( )
