Do Your Worst by Rosie DananContemporary RomancePublished November 14, 2023- BerkleyReviewed by Kate Do Your Worst by Rosie Danan is a fun read. It’s one that is a little difficult for me to review, because I don’t have too many strong feelings about it. Do Your Worst has a good story and fun characters, but it has a few issues that hold it back from being an amazing read. Overall, Do Your Worst is clever and the premise certainly isn’t something you’ll have read about a bunch Continue Reading

Also, let's be honest, it's always chancy going into a book by a new-to-you author that also has a cutesy cover. I'm glad I finally picked it up, because not reading this lovely enemies to lovers, workplace romance would have Continue Reading
