About Enemies Abroad:
It’s simple: Noah Peterson and I are enemies. Our fellow teachers know it, our friends know it—even the Starbucks drive-through lady knows it since every Monday she scrawls the name A. Hole for me on Noah’s cappuccino when I pick up the weekly group order. The shrill whine of the school bell announces the start of each day’s no-holds-barred grudge match. Since neither of us is looking to get fired or thrown in prison, we war with our words and our wits. We prefer banter that bites. All day, I’m on edge, looking around every corner, expecting him to do his worst. Just when I think I can’t take the sight of his (regretfully) handsome face for one more minute, the school day is done. Summer usually offers the sweetest relief—a two-month Noah detox—but not this year. “We need two volunteers to chaperone a group of eighth graders in Rome” becomes a game of chicken neither one of us is willing to lose. We both want that bonus check. “Back out,” I tell him. “Scared?” he taunts. No one thinks it’s a good idea for us to go to Rome together, least of all me. Taking this battle abroad will only lead to mayhem and misery. DING. Ladies and gentlemen of flight UA447 with service to Rome, fasten your seatbelts. We’re bound to have a bumpy ride.Review:
5* read.
I'm always looking forward to reading a new book by this author. She writes rom-coms like no other and I always enjoy reading every last page.
Audrey and Noah are fire together. The clue is in the title with these two, they're enemies always trying to get one over on the other. But actually as an outsider looking in you can feel their chemistry straight away and you know that this is more love hate then just hate hate. The banter and sexual chemistry can be felt from the get go and I loved the interactions between them. Both teachers working in the same school and in classrooms right next door to each other there's no escaping each other. That's even more so when they're made chaperones and shipped off to Rome together with a bunch of teenagers. What could go wrong with that scenario?
I loved that this was set mainly in Italy, Rome. The way their romance is built while set in such a beautiful place makes you want to be there yourself. I liked how their relationship wasn't just instant, it is a slow burn in the sense they fight their feelings for each other (especially Audrey). You got to see their relationship develop in a deep way before they even got together which was definitely right for these characters.
Great writing as usual by this author, she really knows how to drag you into a book. I'm looking forward to seeing what she writes next.
