Aerospace engineer Esther Abbott doesn’t believe in love, but she’s perfectly happy to hate her annoying screenwriter neighbor, Jonathan. Until she’s forced to strike a devil’s bargain with him: he distracts her best friend from a mouth-breather ex, and in return Esther will help him with the sci-fi script he’s writing. Her patience is put to the test when it’s time to fulfill her end of the deal. But the more time she spends with her nemesis, the more hate turns into attraction—and attraction into something much deeper. As Esther’s carefully constructed defenses start to crumble, will love be her undoing or her salvation? This sweet, enemies-to-lovers romance is the second in a series of standalone rom-coms featuring heroines who work in STEM fields. “I loved Esther and Jonathan’s journey from awkwardness to comfortable friendship to love.” —Smart B*tches, Trashy Books “If you’re a fan of geeky romances, you need to pick this one up.

While I liked the first book in the series, I didn't connect with the characters all that much.
Imagine my surprise and delight at getting to know somewhat-prickly and assertive Esther, who - at least in some regards - is absolutely my spirit animal (well, at least one of them). I rooted for her from the start, and I especially loved to follow her developing friendship with Jonathan.
Bonus points for bestie Jinny - the girls make a great team, and I had so much fun reading about them!
