Description

Travis and Devin are the internet’s most feared critics, but they have never actually met. While Travis is a sunshine-filled optimist who finds beauty in every corner of the world, Devin is a cynical grump who prefers his coffee black and his reviews scathing. They spend their days trading barbs in the comment sections of their rival blogs, convinced the other is the most annoying person on the planet. When a professional opportunity forces them into the same room, the digital warfare turns into face-to-face friction. Sparks fly as quickly as their witty insults, and what starts as an argumentative stand-off soon reveals a hidden, undeniable chemistry. They might be polar opposites, but beneath the bickering, they discover they are the only two people who truly understand each other. This delightful novella delivers the perfect dose of comfort, humor, and heart. It is a sweet, low-angst fairytale for anyone who loves a classic grumpy-meets-sunshine dynamic. If you are looking for a quick, feel-good escape filled with sharp banter and a guaranteed happily ever after, this story will leave you grinning from ear to ear. Sometimes, the person you argue with most is the one you are meant to love.

not as great as it started with a text

Again Jax has found a really sweet story and packaged it in the perfect length without the endless repetition seen im so many self published books. For me it was a nice easy read with engaging characters. I didn’t like them as much, feel their chemistry as much or find the banter as spot on as it did in “It Started with a Text” which I read first and loved so much that I bought this one. I’m not sorry, just less warm all over.

Lots of heart

Devin and Travis are competing critics who can't agree about anything until they meet and they both end up agreeing they are perfect for each other, recognizing their soulmate. I enjoyed their banter and insults, happy they obviously did, too. Snarkiness is King! I loved the twist of the coffee shop crush. Loved the instalove. A sweet, funny novella with lots of heart. I received a copy of this and this is my voluntary opinion.
