Eeek I feel really bad about this.
Let’s start with the positives:
-diversity representation
-Brazilian culture
-FMCs family was protective fierce and loyal
Ok onto the negatives:
-pretty much everything else
To start I’m not sure I ever got why these two characters hated and then fell in love with one another.
Then…
When the two characters hook up it is cringey and awkward… weird references comparing his

Dang, gang, this was cute as all hell, y'all! This is the sort of read I am always looking for. It's cute, sexy, the setup between our main couple is fun and because of that setup, their banter is charming, and the whole story unfolds in an altogether pleasant and enjoyable fashion.
If you are at all the sort of person who regularly reads my reviews of these sorts of books, you might know I'm eternally in search of a romance that's as good as The Hating Game by Sally Thorne and, while this isn't quite as good as The Hating Game, it is extremely close in quality and it is basically just as enjoyable. The only reason this felt a bit lesser and didn't make it only the "Favorite Favorites of All Time Ever" was due to some hangups with the whole, "He can't possibly like me!" trope, which I'm never a big fan of.
That said, this was super heckin' cute and I am a huge huge fan of it! 5/7, would lie to my prospective boss and fall in love with my pitch partner again.

My first Mia Sosa romance. The male sibling rivalry here was an interesting change of pace. Many of the roles typical to women in tropes were flipped here and I like that perspective - she's ok with friends with benefits where he's more smitten and knows she's the one. The food sounds excellent and I need to figure out where to get Brazilian food near me. I loved Lina's family and their dynamics.
