Either way, Emily Henry has just released her new book, Book Lovers, this week and I’m on board. Though, if you like friends to lovers, People We Meet On Vacation might be for you. The reasoning? I didn’t feel like the characters could have had a realistic romance that way (You can read the full review by clicking here). In fact, it might have been one of the lowest ranking romances I’ve ever read.
Okay, it’s no secret that People We Meet On Vacation was not a favorite of mine. So, without further ado, here are four novels that fall in the enemies to lovers category that are just a little less cringy. But, if you’re a reader who doesn’t enjoy the arguing as much, there are many other books that fall in the enemies to lovers trope that are just as quirky, but maybe even better.
Suffice it to say, if you liked The Hating Game, The Roughest Draft might be for you. If you read my review on The Roughest Draft ( if you haven’t, you can check that out here), I felt very similarly about that book as well. It was obvious that Lucy and Josh really did hate each other, at least until a certain point, and at that point I start to wonder how realistic the story is when they turn things around.
I felt The Hating Game could have come close, but there was just too much bickering for my taste. Whether the book has smut or not, I look for good plotlines. When I go for a romance novel, I look for fun, a bit of conflict, something that reads quick/easy, and of course, a happy ending (pun intended?). I was hoping The Hating Game would be like that, but I didn’t feel that was the case, at least for me. Not all romance novels, but I love the quirky rom-com types that give you that cozy warm feeling when you read about them. I’ll start by saying that I really enjoy romance novels.
Okay, so I didn’t hate The Hating Game, but I didn’t love it either-and let me tell you why.
