From the beginning I knew that Marley and Derek would be like oil and water because they were so different in every aspect, yet their competitive drive keep them always circling each other. They go to different high schools, then colleges, and circle back when Derek shows up on her grandmother’s porch saying he has taken a client that is contesting the will. These two know what buttons to push and what exactly to say or do to push each other over that edge. I liked how the story would go from present to past so we got to see them in each times in their life where they would butt heads and it gave us the background, we needed to see why they were this way. Watching their story unfold and seeing all their ups and downs made me love these characters because watching them grow helped understand them. It was amazing how no matter how much time passes in each phase of their lives that they always seem to find each other and gravitate toward the other, yet past hurts as well as present ones will be a lot for Marley to overcome. Will she be able to move on and forgive Derek or are they doomed to constantly stand on the sidelines circling each other but never truly being in the others’ life? The attraction and tension between them were pouring off the pages and when they were truly together, they were happy but fate or something always got in the way. The angst was high and the constant back and forth was fun yet at times Marley issues with trusting Derek while completely understandable still irked me some. She was always waiting for the shoe to drop instead of enjoying them together and it hurt Derek. Overall, this was a good angsty enemy to lovers read that kept me intrigued and side note being from North Carolina the UNC vs Dook I mean Duke rivalry is real and intense. At one point when Derek was yelling at coach I was like no one yells at Coach Roy lol. GO HEELS!!! ( )
