Make Up Break Up.
This is due to be published February 11th 2021.
I’m really not sure how to rate this book, it felt like it had so much potential to be fun, but I just felt baffled tbh.
I liked Anika as a main character, but I was confused by the fact she was 24 and acting like a 35 year old, but that it felt like it had been written by a 17year old... 
The oh so swoony lead male felt stereotypically tall, rich & handsome, and the fact that were “competing” over their relationship apps was the whole point of contention but the way it plays out with the competition is absurd.
I did like aspects of this (mainly Anika’s best friend and partner in the project, June), but it sort of read like a teenager had written what she thought would make a good sex scene. It was really cringey at times.
“She ran her hands down his pecs to his stomach, feeling the taut muscles, her bones going soft, melting so she was nothing but a puddle of hot desire.”
A hot puddle of desire?!
Ok then.

I’ve not read the authors YA books under her other name, but I feel like they’re probably really good as this did feel like YA but the characters were just older. It might have felt more realistic if it were set in College/University snd they were competing for funding that way or something. Hmm. 2.5 out of 5 stars.



“Annika Dev believes in love, second chances and fairy-tale endings. Her app, Make Up, helps couples believe in these things too. 

Hudson Craft believes in fast cards, flashy start-ups and high efficiency break-ups. His app, Break Up, helps people expedite their failing relationships. It's wildly successful and everything that Annika hates.

Which wouldn't be a problem if they'd gone their separate ways after their summer fling in Las Vegas, never to see each other again. Unfortunately for Annika, Hudson's moving into the office next door to hers - and he's planning on also competing at the prestigious EPIC investment pitch contest. A contest Annika needs to win if she wants to keep Make Up afloat...”

The story of Hudson and Annika, who have rival apps. Things become more competitive when he moves in to the office next door and is suddenly everywhere.  Will they become more than enemies? As the story unfolds and he reveals why he created the app you understand more about him as a person and hope she gives him a chance.

A great read.

I loved this. A heartwarming rom-com I couldn’t put it down. Lighthearted and funny this is just the reprove we need from 2020.
