Only When It's Us by Chloe LieseMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review.
I loved the beginning of this novel, with all of the banter and sexual anger that Ryder and Willa had between each other. I even loved them reluctantly having to spend time together for their class project. What I didn't like so much was all of the secrets. And the hypocrisy. Neither one of them were getting deep enough with each other to really know the other person, yet they were complaining about the other one keeping secrets and not revealing their true lives. You can't have it all, and yet they wanted the other to expose their deep secrets while keeping their own feelings safe and sound.
It was enough to make me quite annoyed by the end of the novel, but I will say there were a lot of great moments in this novel to keep me going. I adore Rooney and I loved seeing Ryder with his family. Both characters have A LOT of stuff going on, so it was nice to see them overcome their own struggles, but to see them sabotage their relationship was frustrating to no end.
Overall, I enjoyed this story and I'm glad I got the chance to read this novel. Maybe I'll revisit the Bergman family and see about how Ryder's siblings find their own true love in the future.
