Water Under the Bridge

Avery Soko, a bright-eyed and ambitious do-gooder, is on the cusp of getting her dream fundraising job at the Oceanic Research Organization. Luca Navarro, a former corporate lawyer with an extravagant tie collection and an irritatingly handsome smirk, holds Avery's future in his very large hands. When he calls with the news of her rejection, Luca seems to revel in crushing her dreams.

But Avery will do anything to pursue her passion, even accept a job at a struggling start-up. Her spell of bad luck finally changes when a competition is announced at a grandiose gala that could save her and her new team from going under. Of course, Avery's least favorite person, Luca, also joins the running for the multimillion-dollar prize.

At the height of the competition, Avery and Luca realize they've met their match. Will the tense moments, absurd attempts to out-do each other, and the string of games and bets they've concocted turn into a series of failures, or will it make them into something more than adversaries?

I’ve been seeing this book around booksta, so I got curious 👀 ! Thank god my curiousity got me! This book easily joins my top reads this year! Who doesn’t love a good workplace romance with snarky & witty banters between the MMC & FMC? Don’t you also love it when the entire workplace promotes a healthy working environment? I just love everyone from Plastech & Oro! (Ok, Joanna was kind of a bitch but then again she had her own problems)! 

Anywhooooo! I’m definitely looking forward to the next books in this series! Luca and Avery are the perfect example of an intellectual couple who knows how to communicate!!!! They know how to respect each person’s boundaries! The slow burn was chef’s kiss! It gave time for the readers to get to know the characters together with them! No unnecessary third act break ups because we all looooove rational human beings! Haha I also loved how attentive Luca was towards Avery! God of course he fell first! He might tease the living shit out of Ave, but we all knew she was THE one for him!!! (Amen to dual pov!!!!) 

Overall, this debut novel made me want more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

📖⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Interesting. So he does know how to get his hands dirty. How would those dirty hands feel on my skin?" - I'm SORRY but what? She literally said this after she discovered 
his interest in environment projects... This is not the only one tho, she dropped this in like every paragraph 😭😭

I hated this book. I dnfed it at 30% because I cringed at every page. I wish romance book would go back to this cute loveable story and not a spicy non romantic story where they want to rip their clothes from each other every time they think of SOMETHING. Like oh an apple? This reminds me of his dirty sexy hands grabbing them. THAT WAS THIS BOOK EVERY PAGE.

Also here constant emphasis on the fact that she was wearing VINTAGE like okay? cool? It didn't really make sense too, that she was almost too poor to afford something at the beggining of the book, to even pay rent but she can afford a Versace dress? sure

this book was HORRIBLE, not to forget the part were they met every second of the book "surprisingly", but hey, sometimes I thought he was a stalker NOW I'm sure he was.

shortest conversation known to man> emotional breakthroughs, brief existential crisis, tears& love

I'm going to be honest. I was petrified to read this book. 

I love withlovedac with my entire heart. I literally ADORE her dances as she gives new recs. But when she said she was writing a book with her best friend, I was a bit skeptical. 

But I loved it thoroughly. It's so well written too ah! And it's more plot based which made me so freaking, unbelievably happy ngl. Like I love that it was plot based. 

Avery is relatable in terms of her temper. I'll be honest, I once did trash picking inside the community I live. Was livid with how much uneaten food was thrown around + with all the plastic bags scattered across the community. 

But I regret picking up the trash without gloves because I stunk so badly after doing it. 

HOWEVER, I did love the theme of this book very much. It had a pretty good message honestly. 

Luca is an iconic chap. I love the way he treated Aves. 1572910483/10. 

Nico, you're the loml periodt. Lily marry me ty.
