Synopsis (from Goodreads):
The brand new enemies-to-lovers romcom for fans of Mhairi McFarlane and The Love Hyphothesis.
‘A properly joyful caper of heads vying with hearts. Drummond had me laughing, ‘eeek!’ing and ‘aaah’ing, as Posy and Lucas navigate their fake-wedding planning, old animosities and new longings of the heart. A lovely funny uplifting read.’
Pernille Hughes
Two high school rivals. Ten years later. A vow not to fall in love . . .
School reunions: the perfect opportunity to catch up with old friends, dazzle old foes, and basically show everyone that your life could not be going better.
But for Lucas O’Rourke and Posy Edwins this isn’t quite the case. Lucas is about to lose his business unless he finds an investor fast, and Posy’s father has cut her off financially, just when she needs to get to Hawaii. And a reunion is the worst moment to come face-to-face with your rival. Ten years ago they hated each other, what could have changed since then?
As tensions rise, Posy comes up with a plan to solve both their problems, all she needs to do is persuade Lucas to go along with it. Trouble is, how do you ask your high school enemy to pretend you’re madly in love when everyone knows you don’t get along? And what happens when that plan involves a wedding, honeymoon and an old school bylaw stating that the school will pay for the entire event…
Surely Posy has thought everything through, hasn’t she?
My Review:
–
Posy and Lucas go to the same private school and we’re head boy and girl. They absolutely hate each other. But when they meet up years later at a reunion, they decide to try to enact one of the school’s policies: that if the head boy and girl decide to get married, the school pays for it. Okay needs money cause she was cut off from her rich father for having no purpose, and Lucas needs Posy’s family connections for his wealth management business.
–
I actually only made it 70% of the way through before I DNF’d. There was just no character growth, I didn’t connect with the characters and they didn’t have a lot of redeeming qualities, unfortunately.

CW: sexual content, alcohol and drug use, heart attack, and bullying.
