I wish the enemies-to-lovers trope played out a little more, as they seemed to go from enemies to friends really quickly, and eventually friends to lovers. Unfortunately, once they get together, the steam drops off.

The beginning of the book had amazing banter between the two MCs, and I loved the scenes in the gym. I also feel like the way he was written contradicted itself a little bit: in some scenes, he was the smug, confident gym bro who wasn’t used to people telling him no, but in other scenes he was too awkward to even have a conversation with Crystal. His character was a little less well-developed, and I would have liked to see a little more of what makes him tick. Scott didn’t have nearly as much personal growth as Crystal. She wasn’t just a perfect influencer that had body positivity all figured out–she was a real person with plenty of her own insecurities that she hid from her followers. I loved that Crystal showed incredible growth throughout the story. This debut contemporary romance is full of positive messages and mostly extremely well-written characters.

I enjoyed flipping back through the book to see how the Instagram posts and text threads were laid out, which is a fun addition to the story that doesn’t translate as well into the audio version. Thank you to for this complimentary copy as part of their #SRC2022 campaign, and to for the complimentary ALC! I began listening to Set On You while driving cross-country and finished it by reading the physical copy once I arrived at my destination (I had a whole pile of awesome bookmail waiting for me!).
