Only thing I liked about the main character was her take no sexist bs attitude that she has at work. Other than that she was blah. Also the guy who is her main love interest doesn't come off as sexy or romantic just a possessive jerkface. I guess I don't really like the whole concept of "boy likes girl so he pulls on her pigtails" thing. It just comes off as immature and a way to excuse the guy's behavior. This book sent me. There is just so much to unpack. Was this a poorly written book? Yes. Did it seem like someone just fed an AI a bunch of romance novels and had it write one? Yes. None of that matters though. The only thing that matters is the twist. The twist! Censored if you feel like finding out 80% into the book is that Many people have noted the weird way Smith treats race throughout the book so that doesn’t need to be rehashed but it makes the twist (and its racial aspect) so much weirder and discomfiting. But going beyond the twist, the book is not at all romantic – Tate The Love Interest is possessive and jealous and a little bit stalky (but it’s ok because Emmie The Protagonist is crushing on him). All of this is the longest way of saying I loved this book. It was so confusing and surreal and racially charged. Arguably very bad but so much fun to read. Quarantine is getting to me. I really liked it, but I didn't love it. To start out, this book could have been a lot shorter, and with a lot less drama(especially in the end). Also, I was expecting a book that explored the construction thing, because of the helmet in the cover, but I was kinda disappointed. Other than that, this book was exactly what I wanted, a rom-com with lots of hurt-comfort. The book was incredibly cliche, but that was what I wanted, so no comment on that. The characters were really likable, but Tate (why are you named Tate, I find Tate to be such a weird name) could have been a lot better at expressing himself, and Emmie could have been a bit more open in the beginning, though without her close-mindedness, we wouldn't have had as much drama, and I wouldn't have enjoyed the book as much as I did. I've been wanting to read this one for a while, and I had had pretty high expectations, which was not a good thing. I also found that it felt a bit incomplete to me? Also, that drama with ....(what was the ex-girlfriend's name???).....her could have been done better. In my opinion, we needed that insight into the ex well before the character was introduced, and the twinness could have been a surprise. I would have liked to know more about Tate, and have met some of Emmie's family members. All in all, a good read. I recommend it to anyone who likes romance, the haters-to-lovers trope, the hurt/comfort, and, in general, a rom-com. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"Emmie Echavarre is a professional faker. She has to be to survive as one of the few female employees at Nuts & Bolts, a power tool company staffed predominantly by gruff, burly men. From nine to five, Monday through Friday, she's tough as nails--the complete opposite of her easy-going real self. One thing she doesn't have to fake? Her disdain for coworker Tate Rasmussen. Tate has been hostile to her since the day they met. Emmie's friendly greetings and repeated attempts to get to know him failed to garner anything more than scowls and terse one-word answers. Too bad she can't stop staring at his Thor-like biceps... When Emmie and Tate are forced to work together on a charity construction project, things get...heated. Emmie's beginning to see that beneath Tate's chiseled exterior lies a soft heart, but it will take more than a few kind words to erase the past and convince her that what they have is real"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

There are so many times in life we have to fake it to make it and this book lives that out loud. Being a strong female worker in a male dominated place, Emmie has to do what it takes to get to the position she is aiming for. Tate is an annoying character. Even when his “cuteness” comes into play, he isn’t that strong for me - until he starts opening up and showing himself. I think there are a lot of people who can connect with an anxiety issue and being an introvert. My pros, Emmie isn’t a character I would remember and I had to look her name up in the book for this review and Tate stood out simply because I deal with a few of the same issues. ( )
