The Two of Us is an enemies to lovers, brother’s best friend standalone romance set in the current affairs of history in the making. Though the character’s storyline is fiction, the circumstances are very real, and we’re sensitive to this topic. This is a story about hope, love, and so much more with a guaranteed happily ever after!
MY REVIEW
As the weeks wear on and their snark and banter turns to friendship, then more, they're not just safe in their own isolated bubble, but are getting to know each other, and growing all at the same time, especially Cami. I love how she grew from a totally spoiled (but not bitchy) princess into an independent, strong woman basking in the knowledge that her man was crazy about her.
Though this is a timely read, centering on the current state of the globe, it's not too heavy in tone, and the whole thing is pitched just right - fun and witty banter with heavier emotional moments occurring between the two, and the scary brushes they have with the outside world. I've read two quarantine themed reads so far and I've been lucky that both are excellent reading. This one is perhaps a little sweeter than the previous one because of Eli - that man is just plain adorable! Sweet, hardworking and totally in love with his woman, he's the perfect, though very real, man. And this story introduces two characters I can't wait to see fall in love - Ryan, Cami's brother and Eli's best friend, and Kendall, Cami's best friend. Considering their situation at the end of The Two of Us, I can already see good things to come in The Best of Us.!
