Review of Scr*w You: An Enemies to Lovers Office Romance by Renee Harless
When Blake tries to do something impulsive for once, it backfires in a huge way and makes her then boyfriend into her enemy. His best friend, Zack, already hated her, but when she found out Zack was the one who sent her pic to the entire frat, let's just say holding a grudge was an understatement. Now 6 years later, she's started her own marketing firm with her best friend, and finds that she's competing with Zack for a 10-year contract with guess who? Yep, the company her ex is set to run someday. Will Blake and Zack be able to work together or will their hostility (that's just masking a long denied attraction) ruin any chance either has of winning the contract?
I have to admit that I skimmed a bit while reading Scr*w You. Although it was mostly entertaining, and really steamy, I kept rolling my eyes at both Blake and Zack, especially Blake. All the hostility they had for each other wasn't really warranted. The explanation for Zack's anger toward her wasn't even given til near the end, and it was a pretty weak reason as far as I'm concerned. I can understand Blake's anger, BUT only because she never bothered to actually ask Zack if he had done what she was told he had done. All the anger could have been quashed years ago if they had had one simple, honest conversation. Honestly, I felt like Blake was immature and pretty damn stupid to believe her ex, whom she had just caught cheating on her. And in her present, it didn't seem her maturity level had increased much. The anger she had was pretty toxic and it made her unlikable. Zack turned out to be a sweetheart, though, even if his reasoning for hating her back then was stupid. He's the reason for the 3.5 stars. If he hadn't turned out to be so sweet and romantic I wouldn't have been able to rate this 3.5 stars because Blake drove me nuts with her immaturity and her anger.
