read it before. was soooooo basic and i felt like the characters and their relationship was so flat and had no depth. the reason why the heroine “hated” the hero was childish and the fact as a grown adult she put a reminder in her phone to delete him? YOURE GROWN! an extra star for the galapagos and wildlife preservation awarness/information

“Life doesn't give you many of these opportunities. My advice? Seize it, mold it, and make it everything you want it to be.”
This is an enemies to lovers book, but not really. It's only the female protagonist who hates the male protagonist. Though, her reason for hating him seemed legit at first, once she got the reason why he did what he did, she still hated him and that was just stupid. 
I didn't like Henley, she is judgmental and selfish. She never takes any blame but it is her who is always at fault. 
I loved the setting for this book! It's set in a cruise ship in Galapagos. It's giving me tropical holiday vibes! I've always wanted to go on a cruise and this just have me more reason to!
The ending was too perfect but it's fine. Happy endings is what most people look for after all. 

This enemies-to-lovers book follows Graham and Henley, who are both up for a promotion for the same job. Henley has never liked Graham due to him taking credit for one of her ideas at work. They are tasked with going on one of the company's cruises to the Galapagos to experience what the company has to offer personally.

This book was fun. The characters were interesting and the plot was fun. I wasn't really invested in the romance side of the novel. I liked Graham and Henley, but ultimately didn't care about whether they were end-game. I was mostly interested in the story line of Henley working for this promotion. It showcased how difficult it can be for women in the workplace, while also showing how strong women are to keep persevering. By the end, I felt satisfied with how everything turned out.

Since this is a romance and I wasn't really interested in the romance aspect, I gave it 3 stars. Not to say I didn't like their relationship or anything. They were both really supportive of each other, I just was more interested in Henley's relationship with all of her friends and her sister, and all of the effort she put in to her job. It was inspiring.

Ultimately, a fun, hope-filled read that is perfect for the summer or for a fun vacation read.
