I really enjoyed the banter and the back and forth between these two. They were funny but relatable, which is what we love! They’re also steamyyyyyy people! Definitely ghost pepper level.

I would fully describe this book as an entertaining enemies with benefits to lovers read with a fabulous cat 😂

And I also have to mention how much I loved the use of social media in this book! It highlights some really important issues in such a good way, but I won’t go into to much detail because spoilersssss!

I seriously recommend this book! Especially if you were a fan of books like ‘you’ve got Mail’ or ‘the hating game’.

Sweet, fun, romantic. Romance fans will love it!
I don't usually read many books like this one, but for some reason it has caught my attention and it became truly special to me.

If you are looking for a new book that has you smiling as you read, I would recommend this one.
Victoria and Owen not only fight in the courtroom and outside it, they also fight their feelings for each other.
Then we meet ‘Nora’ and ‘Luke’ through their online chat, they are open and honest with each other about everything except their true identities…………. Victoria and Owen.

Will they/won’t they find out who each other is.

I couldn’t put this down, the book has friendship, love, lust, hate, likeable characters, there was not one character I took a dislike to.
I liked that not only did you follow Victoria and Owen story as themselves and ‘Nora’ and ‘Luke’ but also ‘Nora’ building up online friendships with other females.
Elizabeth Davis is an author I will be looking out for in the future.

Thank you Netgalley for a copy of this book for my review.

Oh my goodness, this is the ULTIMATE hate to love rom-com! You’ve Got Mail meets The Hating Game, this dual perspective romance novel had me from the first (very steamy) chapter!

“I Love You, I Hate You” follows Owen and Victoria, who are both lawyers and have hated each other ever since they had a massive dispute in the courtroom… but what they don’t know is that they have both been exchanging very cute and flirty twitter messages under the names “Nora” and “Luke”.

This book included so many of my favourite tropes, hate to love, man falls first, workplace rivalry, and just so much genuine emotion and pure love that warmed my little heart. The sexual tension oozed off of the page and gave me everything that I look for in a romcom!

Whilst this is a fun little romance novel, Elizabeth Davis did not stray away from harder hitting topics like white privilege, capitalism and consent (Owen would often ask Victoria if it was okay to touch her, which I loved) but this did not take away from being an easy read in the slightest.

I could definitely see this being made into a netflix movie, there is a little bit for everyone and I can definitely see a lot of demographics enjoying it!

I would absolutely love to see companion novels based around some of the side characters such as Mark, the hopeless romantic, and the hilarious dry humoured Madds. Very excited to see what Elizabeth Davi’s does next!

Thank you to NetGalley and @HeadlineEternal for the gifted copy!

If you loved You’ve Got Mail movie from 1998 with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks and if you love rom-com books, you’re in for a treat!

Victoria and Owen are two top lawyers and they can’t stand each other. Somehow, they end up having one-night stand and things get…complicated! They are enemies, but they have an undeniable attraction!

But, there is more. They are friends. On Twitter! They have been messaging each other using anonymous accounts. I mean, this is just hilarious!
The juxtaposition of the Tweets and the story is a smart technique, and it made the entire book very enjoyable. It brought me back to my teenage years, when I used to chat on MSN and chats with strangers (not using my name)!

Will they fall in love? Will they find out the truth and realise they have been messaging for a very long time? I won’t spoil you anything but….this is a fun, entertaining read for sure!

✨I Love You, I Hate You by @elizabethdavisromance ✨

Do you love workplace romance, enemies to lovers? If you do then you need this book in your life.

The Hating Game is the OG workplace romance and this book definitely has all the same tension, spark and 🔥 that THG had!

It’s such a fun read, full of banter and also heart too! We get to really see behind what is driving Victoria and Owen to act the way they are which I really appreciated and I think that added so much more depth to the story!

This super feisty and also super sweet romcom nods in a big way to You’ve Got Mail too, so if you’re looking for something similar to that and honestly when are we not 😂 then definitely check this out!

I’m super happy to be a part of the book tour for this book so head to my stories to read a exclusive excerpt!

From the blurb -
“Victoria and Owen are bitter rivals.
Nora and Luke are friends online.
Who would believe these two couples have anything in common?

Of all the decisions brilliant lawyer Victoria Clemenceaux has made in her life, an unforgettable one-night stand with her opposing counsel Owen Pohl is either the worst...or the best.

One thing is certain: these long-standing rivals aren't going to let their searing attraction stop them from winning the biggest case of their careers. Thankfully Victoria and Owen have someone to vent to about their nemeses. But they have no idea that their online 'friends', Nora and Luke, are the very people they hate in real life.

As Nora and Luke grow closer online, and Victoria and Owen find their undeniable attraction harder to resist, the lines between love and hate blur. When the truth comes out, will their online chemistry work in the real world, or will their constant rivalry sever their connection?”

Thank you to the awesome @headlineeternal for the advanced copy✨

This was a fun romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. The main characters, Victoria and Owen, are both lawyers on opposite sides. She works for a large grocery store chain, and Owen has his own small firm that sues them repeatedly for labor violations. Victoria thinks Owen is a self-centered trust fund jerk, and Owen thinks Victoria is an ice queen with no feelings.
They vent their frustrations on Twitter under fake names. Owen goes by Luke and Victoria is Nora. It turns out that they were talking to each other. They confess their deepest secrets and fears, and their relationship has grown closer and closer to the point that they’re important in each other’s lives.. Neither of them has any idea of their real identities.
After some drinks one evening, they end up together in bed, much to Victoria’s surprise. She starts falling for Owen after that, and the part of her that thinks he’s a jerk is at war with her heart.. They both discover that that their initial dislike for one another was a mistake, and that there’s a lot more depth to both of them than meets the eye.
I love a good enemies-to-lovers trope, and I really liked this book, 4 stars.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I Love You, I Hate You by Elizabeth Davis

Brief Summary: Owen and Veronica are opponents by day in court fighting a huge legal case in their early careers; which is complicated by their hook-up outside of work hours. Unbeknownst to them, they also have an online relationship under the guise of anonymous Twitter handle names Luke and Nora. As these relationships progress and the legal stakes rise; the truth comes out and threatens the relationships. This is my first read by this author but it definitely won’t be my last.

Highlights: As a young professional, I was very engrossed in how Owen and Veronica’s decisions outside work would impact their careers. I laughed at their wittiness and smiled at their antics and grand gestures. This is a really good uplifting book that would make a great movie script.

What makes this book unique? I also really appreciated how the author integrated important issues such as white privilege, coming from a low socioeconomic status, and the burden of student loan debt.

Explanation of Rating: 5/5 stars: I flew threw this book and couldn’t put it down. I was more interested in what was going to happen to Owen and Veronica than site-seeing during a recent trip. This was a perfect vacation read! I highly recommend it! I already purchased a hard copy for my own personal library to support the author!

Thank you to Net Galley and Headline Eternal for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review

I Love You, I Hate You had all the right elements, but they just didn't come together the way I expected them to.

This is a You've Got Mail retelling, but instead of AOL, they are using Twitter. Nora and Luke chat daily and have a really strong connection. But, they agreed that no personal information would be shared between them. Nora wants a distraction and it's too afraid to open up. She seeks solace through her online friends and prefers to keep it that way when Luke suggests they meet in real life.

You need to suspend disbelief in order to really get into the story and believe that "Nora and Luke" aka Victoria and Owen had such a strong connection/friendship without suspecting who they really were outside of their online bubble.

And sure, I tried my best to imagine that scenario. But the magic that you get from the characters of You've Got Mail was just missing from I Love You, I Hate You. There was a lot of steam, but I really missed more banter, more flirty moments, or vulnerable moments. I wanted to see these two falling madly in love with each other, but the connection wasn't there.

I still enjoyed the enemies-to-lovers aspect and the fact that they were such strong players against each other in court. I'd be willing to read more from Elizabeth Davis in the future, but this was just an average read for me.

This is a fantastic read you love I loved every page. The chemistry between all its amazing.I loved Victoria and Owen together. This story was so funny made me smile the writing style I loved. The email between Nora and Luke was brilliant I found them witty and loved the banter between them. I loved every page of this story you love this read

I Love You, I Hate You by Elizabeth Davis is a perfect read for fans of The Hating Game. It's a sexy, hate-to-love, office romance with an interesting premise and compelling characters. Nora and Luke have great chemistry but a lot of antagonism toward each other, which translates to a fiery relationship and a highly enjoyable reading experience. I Love You, I Hate is one of the best hate-to-love romances I've read recently, and I highly recommend it.

I first heard about this book in 2018 when I talked about she loves me in a group chat and elizabeth mentioned that she was writing a book pitched as ~you’ve got mail but with twitter~. three years later, I finally read that book, aka I LOVE YOU, I HATE YOU.

(full disclosure: elizabeth and I are friends! while that has not influenced my review, I think transparency is important when it comes to reviewing)

this book quite literally starts with a bang and at that moment, I knew I’d love this book. it’s full of so much heart, with imperfect characters you can’t help but fall for. owen and victoria’s dynamic is EXACTLY what I want in an enemies-to-lovers romance. for one, they legitimately despise each other, but as many have noted, the opposite of hate isn’t love. in fact, hate and love are really two sides of the same coin. elizabeth puts that analogy to good use in developing owen and victoria’s relationship. she’s prickly and cold (for a good reason) to his white knight complex. when they’re together, sparks fly and fireworks explode.

this book made me literally laugh out loud, openly weep in public, and feel the full spectrum of emotions. elizabeth has written a romantic comedy for the ages

<b>Victoria and Owen are bitter Rivals
Nora and Like are friends online.
Who would believe these two couples have anything in common? </b>

I love you, I hate you was a fun rom-com filled with laughs, love and a good dose of steam. Victoria/Nora and Owen/Luke are two likeable characters with great chemistry, banter and bounce off each other.

I enjoyed the story and loved Victoria's online girlfriends. Every girl needs a group of girls like that.

Told in dual POV, this one entertained me on my walks to and from work.

If you are a fan of enemies to lovers stories and you liked the movie You've Got Mail, then I would give this book a go!

Elizabeth Davis debut rom-com I Love You, I Hate You is available from Today! Looking forward to reading more from this author.

A smutty romantic comedy with an enemies to lovers set up this book is not one to miss.

Victoria is a girl done good, studying hard to make a living as a corporate lawyer. Owen on the other hand has ended up in law just to annoy his rich father. Enemies due to not only their differing backgrounds but also their corporation vs workers career paths. Right from the off Victoria and Owen hate each other. They're complete opposites, but as people say, opposites attract. By day they're warring in court and by night they are opening up and growing closer anonymously online.

Firstly the smut in this book is grade A, chef's kiss! Sexy, dirty and forbidden you are launched into a passionate sexual relationship within the first chapter. There was no preamble or messing around and I enjoyed the fact their physical attraction to each other got straight to the point.

I also enjoyed the dual perspectives of Victoria and Owen's relationship online vs reality. It gave each character a well-rounded feel as vulnerability was seen from the off. It was frustrating at times however in the fact neither person could work out who they were talking to. Frustration growing when taking their intelligence levels and constant contact is taken into consideration.

Victoria is a strong modern woman whose opinionated nature was refreshing. Even though Owen made her physically weak at the knees, her mind and resolve stayed strong. She was definitely a female character that could be supported by real women.

Owen's vulnerability is what made him such a likeable character. It was great to see him open up and doubt his feelings and actions as much as women supposedly do. He was still fiercely masculine but his vulnerability and honesty made him human. It also helped his relationship with Victoria feel more sincere and real.

The humour of the book comes from the verbal battles between Victoria and Owen. Each quick-witted, their well-timed digs and snide comments perfectly hit the mark.

Overall this is a very funny sexy book. It's quick to read and get absorbed into, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves smutty romantic comedies. Especially those partial to the enemies to lovers trope.

This was such a fun read!

Spicy in moments, emotional in moments and thoroughly relateable people, I Love You, I Hate You is a romantic treat that I found it very difficult to put down, in fact I got this read in a few hours and I regret nothing (also as a Victoria with the same nickname, sometimes it felt like an out-of-body experience).

Victoria is what some may call a tsundere, she is tough on the outside due to growing up and having to work for everything she has had whereas on the other hand we have Owen is nuanced, he knows he has privilege but he is so used to always having a backup plan that Victoria in contract could only dream of and I think they both make for empathetic characters and make you root for them throughout.

Plot-wise, it is a great story, we follow them getting so close to the truth sometimes and things happening and I was just sat there like, 'it must be now they figure it out' but oh, no, no no, this doesn't happen and you're left there with baited breath hoping for it to happen and with the incredible scenes this author writes, this author certainly know how to raise the tension in so many ways and I appreciated them all.

I really enjoyed reading it, and I would definitely read more from this author again, she balances the sweet and the spice so well, and this book certainly is proof of that.

With student loans coming out of her ears, Victoria took the higher paying in-house counsel route in her law career. Whilst working for the largest food retailer might not be saving the world it is at least providing her enough to pay her bills and send money to her mom each month. It does mean that she comes across her arch-nemesis Own more and more often as he fights for the employees suing the retailer. Their hatred in the courtroom overflowing outside, but there is a fine line between love and hate.

Victoria loves a good debate, which is a good thing when you're a lawyer. Taking to Twitter she tweets with a range of different people. Finding herself a 'girl gang' who regularly have her corner as well as Luke who after tweeting for a while now, often slide into each other's DMs. Preferring the anonymity of it all Victoria (aka Nora) doesn't wish to meet Luke (aka Owen) or share names etc. They chat about anything and everything becoming a welcome distraction in both their lives.

As they find each other drawn together in real life despite not realising who they are online they navigate an 'I should hate you but I want you' relationship. However, with Victoria guarded about letting people into her life and Owen a rich boy who doesn't understand her issues they crash and burn. Nora reaches out to Luke to meet - but what happens when Luke (Owen) realises it is Victoria (Nora) he has been tweeting all this time?

A modern-day, social media take on the classic You've Got Mail. It was lovely to see the conversations and relationships they each had with their own circle of friends alongside their own interactions.

Victoria is a lawyer, she hates Owen; who is also a lawyer.

Victoria has an alias on Twitter and goes by the name of Nora. Owen has an alias on Twitter and goes by the name of Luke. Nora and Luke are friends and they like each other a lot.

I picked this book in my NetGalley TBR because I needed a novel that would lift my mood and this did not disappoint. I loved every word, I was excited that I knew their secret and the characters did not. Davis writes this novel so realistically I could see everything unfolding in real life; from the court drama to the intimate scenes.

The main female protagonist was strong, fierce and independent, but that didn't make her less human, it made her know what she wanted and showed ambition! Which I love in a female character.

The main male protagonist showed his soft, vulnerable and flawed side including his willingness to admit when he was in the wrong and again this was great to see!

Not all romance novels need to be the female fawning after the male, being the damsel in distress and waiting for her knight in shining armor this novel proves this.

I very much enjoyed this read and is one I will happily read again, can't wait to read more by this author

This is an enemies to lovers book which is my fave! It’s like a modern You’ve got Mail retelling so parts are told through emails/DMs. It was an enjoyable read and would recommend for rom com fans.

BOOK REVIEW: I Love You, I Hate You by Elizabeth Davis

3 Stars
Smut Level: 3/5

I Love You, I Hate You is a fresh take on the classic "You've Got Mail". It involves two "enemy" lawyers, Victoria and Owen who go head to head on cases in court, but who are also unknowingly friends on twitter using false names who talk daily.

The storyline was a typical enemies to lovers which I enjoyed. I loved the use of twitter conversations and Victoria's online group of female friends for her to debrief. It was a basic story but it was well done so I did enjoy it overall.
The characters were my favourite thing about the book. Victoria is such a smart, independent woman who grew up poor and wants to do the best she can for herself and her Mum. I loved her vulnerable side and how she slowly opened up through the book. Owen was an interesting character that I don't think we got the full potential from, I wish he had more personality. A rich kid growing up, he has his own law business focused on helping those hard done by. I loved his generous nature and felt he was misjudged too much by Victoria just because he has money.

The writing was good and I liked the dual POV and use of twitter messages and emails to break up the text. The formatting on the e-ARC wasn't great but I am sure that will be fixed for the book.

I was a little disappointed in the romance as I wanted more scenes of Victoria and Owen being open with each other and flirting! There were plenty of sex scenes but sometimes quality is better than quantity and unfortunately I didn't actually find them very sexy.

Overall, an interesting take on a classic with good characters and a fun format to read. Although not a book I would read again, I will definitely keep an eye out for more books from this author.

Please note that I was #gifted this ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Almost a modern re-telling of 'You've got Mail' which means I really enjoyed this book it was a sweet romance with some spice to it and the characters were interesting enough to feel invested in their relationship.
I raced through this book and was a little sad to get to the end. I guess if I was really pushing myself to find fault it would be that he was a little to sappy and yet didn't put himself out there and she was too harsh outwardly with no real basis on her feeling so withdrawn and mistrusting of others.
