Book by: Bethany Turner
Brynn and Sebastian Hate Each Other is a fun, clean, summer time read.
The enemies to lover trope is done well here, as readers can sense the intense dislike between Brynn and Seb once they have page time together. Making the romance all the more victorious at the end.
Brynn…well, let’s just say, she’s had a hard life and she hasn’t made it any easier on herself. When what she thought was a private conversation with her co-host airs on national television, Brynn has some major soul-searching, and apologizing, to do. Yet, as readers follow her journey, there doesn’t seem to be soul-deep remorse (which tends to be more evident with a faith thread – which this story doesn’t have). She does have an epiphany near the end, which would make readers believe things would change.
Sebastian is a solid lead character, who knows when to speak and how to take a stand for what is right. He’s had a vastly different experience than Brynn, and it’s understandable why he dislikes her so much – especially when they share the same profession.
There’s plenty of embarrassing moments, dislike for the girl who comes home, tear-filled moments, and banter. The supporting cast is one of the most interesting in Bethany Turner books – especially Doc and Orly.
The epilogue shows Brynn and Sebastian’s life two years following the end of the story. A little bit of a surprise, which I won’t spoil here. This is a clean read – perfect for summertime reading.
