Such a lovely story, great character development, more complex and interesting story that I could have imagined. Definitely give it a read if you enjoy a bit of enemies to lovers and funny banter between characters.

Part 2 of ‘Better than the movies’! Honestly a great continuation of the story. I loved seeing these characters in a more mature and individual environment (university, away from home). Second chance romance. Definitely give it a read!
