Terms of Un-Endearment is a witty and irresistible romance brimming with sharp banter, sizzling tension, and laugh-out-loud moments. Brittany Larsen delivers a delightful enemies-to-lovers story as Archie and Piper’s battle for shared space turns into an undeniable connection. I loved the playful pranks, the crackling chemistry, and the heartfelt moments that balanced the humor. It was thoroughly entertaining from start to finish and I gave it five stars.

I loved this book! 5⭐️ It is deliciously funny, and hilarious. It also navigates difficult family relationships, personal growth, and setting boundaries. I loved the play and chemistry between Archie and Piper—the enemy vibes especially. There are about 5 mild swears, alcohol consumption (mostly beer) with one instance of drunkenness and level 1 kisses only. Dual POV.

My last read was an extremely heavy one so I needed something lighter as a palate cleanser. Terms of Un-Endearment fit the bill perfectly! You've got Piper and Archie, step siblings who have never been on the best of terms. Due to a mix up, they end up living in the same house as their parents work out their divorce settlement.

This book was just overall a lot of fun. There was lots of good banter and moments that just made me smile. The prank war was entertaining but despite all the pranks and barbs tossed back and forth, you could still feel the chemistry between the two. This one is definitely a sloooooooow burn romance though! The cast of side characters was a great addition and I think they added to the story without complicating it too much. Overall, a great, lighthearted, entertaining read!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the review copy in exchange for my honest opinions.

Terms of Un -Endearment
When Piper goes to live in a $12 million Los Angeles beach house given to her mother in her divorce she does not expect to be living with her step brother Archie whose father had treated her mother badly and was horrible to her when she was young. Unfortunately because the settlement has not yet been laid they have to live together for 2 weeks, neither trusting the other. So starts a campaign of pranks between the two to get one to leave.Although these pranks were amusing unlike other reviewers I didn’t find the hilarious or laugh out loud.
This is a very slow burn romance, each realising they are attracted to each other, unfortunately by slow they don’t even get to kiss until near the end of the book. There is a good cast of characters and Archie’s father is certainly the villain in this story I found it lacking somehow.
The epilogue almost wraps it up but again it it could of given more detail whether Archie’s father’s somehow realised the error of his ways.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

After reading Terms of Un-Endearment by Brittany Larsen I need to get book one Britta & the Beach Boy.
There were so many great side characters as well.
This book had me laughing out loud at some moments and then crying the next.
I completely binged this book way past my bedtime with zero regrets.
This book is full of heart and is a great book from Brittany Larsen.

So they both start playing games to get the other of them to leave the house.
