I get this is meant to be hate to love - but their nasty animosity towards each other was actually giving me anxiety and making me feel yuck. Obvs they will eventually stop but I just don’t ship them at all now.

Okay so I have some positive points about this book and the way it describes relationships and physical intimacy.
I love that there was small to none of the miscommunication trope or the unnecessary 'we need to take a break' moment in this book.
I liked to read about Kate's experiences of the world and relationships with ADHD, as I do not experience ADHD.
Now there are also some points that irked me the wrong way or felt icky. Kate's insecurity of being a virgin and asking or mentioning that Christopher has been with many other women before her and Kate making a comment about that in a way that she knows she will not like the answer. She looks for a solution with him, but this insecurity is within herself, and it was something that kept on coming back for her and her asking again and again.
Also I found Kate to be very immature in the beginning/middle, it was only at the end that I started to like her a bit and her finally realizing she has to mature. I also did not feel that 'hate' was the right term for how Kate and Christopher felt toward eachother at the beginning. I understand that that was the point of the book, that they pushed eachother away because of their fears. But I expected some equal 'hating'. But it felt more like Kate hated Christopher and Christopher feeling dissapointed in Kate at the beginning. I didn't feel convinced, eventhough their hate was mentioned a lot throughout the book.
It didn't feel to me like I was reading about people around their 30s. Their arguments and way of dealing were so childish.
Also Christopher bashed and shamed Kate in front of her family again and again. Why did her family not stop him before but only on Thanksgiving?! Also please let him stop with the constant comparing of her appearance or personality when she was a litteral kid. Of course she has changed, she better has changed, ISTG it felt so icky, their age gap was not that much considering they are late 20s/begin 30s. Also when he said he wanted to protect Kate and to not have her run into danger headfirst, that felt to me like he did not trust Kate enough to keep herself alive. Like, she managed fine, not great, but fine without him.
I had high hopes for this book, especially because I loved the first book Two Wrongs Make a Right. But this was underwhelming and I felt annoyed while reading it ngl. I won't be reading the 3rd book in this series.

- when I’m in Kate’s head, I hate Christopher
- when I’m in Christopher’s head, I hate Kate
- i never know what I’m supposed to feel/feel the wrong things at the wrong times
- simultaneously not enough and too much taming of the shrew?
- age gap comments bordered on too frequent and too creepy
- I’m so bored?
