All's fair in love and law。。。
You've Got Mail meets Dating You/Hating You by Christina Lauren and The Hating Game by Sally Thorne in this sizzling rom-com debut。
'Smart， sexy， and feminist， I Love You， I Hate You is a delightful love letter to internet friends and Nora Ephron。 Elizabeth Davis just became an auto-buy author for me' Annette Christie， author of The Rehearsals
Victoria and Owen are bitter rivals。
Nora and Luke are friends online。

A smutty romantic comedy with an enemies to lovers set up this book is not one to miss。Victoria is a girl done good， studying hard to make a living as a corporate lawyer。 Owen on the other hand has ended up in law just to annoy his rich father。 Enemies due to not only their differing backgrounds but also their corporation vs workers career paths。 Right from the off Victoria and Owen hate each other。 They're complete opposites， but as people say， opposites attract。 By day they're warring in court A smutty romantic comedy with an enemies to lovers set up this book is not one to miss。Victoria is a girl done good， studying hard to make a living as a corporate lawyer。 Owen on the other hand has ended up in law just to annoy his rich father。 Enemies due to not only their differing backgrounds but also their corporation vs workers career paths。 Right from the off Victoria and Owen hate each other。 They're complete opposites， but as people say， opposites attract。 By day they're warring in court and by night they are opening up and growing closer anonymously online。Firstly the smut in this book is grade A， chef's kiss！ Sexy， dirty and forbidden you are launched into a passionate sexual relationship within the first chapter。 There was no preamble or messing around and I enjoyed the fact their physical attraction to each other got straight to the point。I also enjoyed the dual perspectives of Victoria and Owen's relationship online vs reality。 It gave each character a well-rounded feel as vulnerability was seen from the off。 It was frustrating at times however in the fact neither person could work out who they were talking to。 Frustration growing when taking their intelligence levels and constant contact is taken into consideration。Victoria is a strong modern woman whose opinionated nature was refreshing。 Even though Owen made her physically weak at the knees， her mind and resolve stayed strong。 She was definitely a female character that could be supported by real women。Owen's vulnerability is what made him such a likeable character。 It was great to see him open up and doubt his feelings and actions as much as women supposedly do。 He was still fiercely masculine but his vulnerability and honesty made him human。 It also helped his relationship with Victoria feel more sincere and real。The humour of the book comes from the verbal battles between Victoria and Owen。 Each quick-witted， their well-timed digs and snide comments perfectly hit the mark。Overall this is a very funny sexy book。 It's quick to read and get absorbed into， and I would recommend it to anyone who loves smutty romantic comedies。 Especially those partial to the enemies to lovers trope。 。。。more

This was a fun romance that I thoroughly enjoyed。 The main characters， Victoria and Owen， are both lawyers， on opposite sides。 She works for a large grocery store chain， and Owen has his own small firm that sue them repeatedly for labor violations。 Victoria thinks Owen is a self-centered trust fund jerk， and Owen thinks Victoria is an ice queen with no feelings。They vent their frustrations on Twitter under fake names。 Owen goes by Luke and Victoria is Nora。 It turns out that they were talking to This was a fun romance that I thoroughly enjoyed。 The main characters， Victoria and Owen， are both lawyers， on opposite sides。 She works for a large grocery store chain， and Owen has his own small firm that sue them repeatedly for labor violations。 Victoria thinks Owen is a self-centered trust fund jerk， and Owen thinks Victoria is an ice queen with no feelings。They vent their frustrations on Twitter under fake names。 Owen goes by Luke and Victoria is Nora。 It turns out that they were talking to each other。 They confess their deepest secrets and fears， and have no idea of their real identities。After some drinks one evening， they end up together in bed， much to Victoria’s surprise。 She starts falling for Owen after that， and the part of her that thinks he’s a jerk is at war with her heart。。 They both discover that that their initial dislike for one another was a mistake， and that there’s a lot more depth to both of them than meets the eye。 I love a good enemies-to-lovers trope， and I really liked this book， 4 stars。 Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。 。。。more

Victoria is a lawyer， she hates Owen; who is also a lawyer。 Victoria has an alias on Twitter and goes by the name of Nora。 Owen has an alias on Twitter and goes by the name of Luke。 Nora and Luke are friends and they like each other a lot。 I picked this book in my NetGalley TBR because I needed a novel that would lift my mood and this did not disappoint。 I loved every word， I was excited that I knew their secret and the characters did not。 Davis writes this novel so realistically I could see eve Victoria is a lawyer， she hates Owen; who is also a lawyer。 Victoria has an alias on Twitter and goes by the name of Nora。 Owen has an alias on Twitter and goes by the name of Luke。 Nora and Luke are friends and they like each other a lot。 I picked this book in my NetGalley TBR because I needed a novel that would lift my mood and this did not disappoint。 I loved every word， I was excited that I knew their secret and the characters did not。 Davis writes this novel so realistically I could see everything unfolding in real life; from the court drama to the intimate scenes。The main female protagonist was strong， fierce and independent， but that didn't make her less human， it made her know what she wanted and showed ambition！ Which I love in a female character。 The main male protagonist showed his soft， vulnerable and flawed side including his willingness to admit when he was in the wrong and again this was great to see！ Not all romance novels need to be the female fawning after the male， being the damsel in distress and waiting for her knight in shining armor this novel proves this。I very much enjoyed this read and is one I will happily read again， can't wait to read more by this author 。。。more

Almost a modern re-telling of 'You've got Mail' which means I really enjoyed this book it was a sweet romance with some spice to it and the characters were interesting enough to feel invested in their relationship。I raced through this book and was a little sad to get to the end。 I guess if I was really pushing myself to find fault it would be that he was a little to sappy and yet didn't put himself out there and she was too harsh outwardly with no real basis on her feeling so withdrawn and mistr Almost a modern re-telling of 'You've got Mail' which means I really enjoyed this book it was a sweet romance with some spice to it and the characters were interesting enough to feel invested in their relationship。I raced through this book and was a little sad to get to the end。 I guess if I was really pushing myself to find fault it would be that he was a little to sappy and yet didn't put himself out there and she was too harsh outwardly with no real basis on her feeling so withdrawn and mistrusting of others。 。。。more

I Love you， I hate you by Elizabeth Davis a five-star read you will love and certainly not hate。 Victoria and Owen will captivate you， their love to hate each other vibe was so genius， it sparked of the page。 I really liked that they were both strong in their own ways， they both brought something to argument。 But most of all I simply adored Kimmy， she reminded me so much of my own mum， the struggles and the love， the drive it instils in you。 I loved the many aspects of the relationships， Nora an I Love you， I hate you by Elizabeth Davis a five-star read you will love and certainly not hate。 Victoria and Owen will captivate you， their love to hate each other vibe was so genius， it sparked of the page。 I really liked that they were both strong in their own ways， they both brought something to argument。 But most of all I simply adored Kimmy， she reminded me so much of my own mum， the struggles and the love， the drive it instils in you。 I loved the many aspects of the relationships， Nora and Luke， then the reveal， I was so happy with the way this story unfolded。 This will easily be the best read of the year， if you like your rom coms witty and sweet then you need this story in your life。 。。。more

Utterly compelling and undeniably addictive， this enemies to lovers rom-com debut was incredible—it’s You’ve Got Mail with a modern （twitter based） twist and I absolutely loved it！ “All’s fair in love and law。。。”Victoria and Owen are bitter rivals。Nora and Luke are online friendsWho would believe these couples have anything in common？ As a brilliant lawyer， Victoria Clemenceaux makes many decisions， but her one night stand with her opposing counsel （and bitter rival） Owen might just be the worst Utterly compelling and undeniably addictive， this enemies to lovers rom-com debut was incredible—it’s You’ve Got Mail with a modern （twitter based） twist and I absolutely loved it！ “All’s fair in love and law。。。”Victoria and Owen are bitter rivals。Nora and Luke are online friendsWho would believe these couples have anything in common？ As a brilliant lawyer， Victoria Clemenceaux makes many decisions， but her one night stand with her opposing counsel （and bitter rival） Owen might just be the worst she’s ever made。。。 or the best。The one thing these rivals won’t do is let their attraction for one another ruin the biggest case of their careers。 Thankfully they have an online friend to vent about their nemeses。 The only problem is ‘Nora’ and ‘Luke’ are the very same people they hate in real life—and neither has any idea。 As Nora and Luke grow closer online and Victoria and Owen’s attraction becomes harder to resist， the lines between love and hate begin to blur。 When the truth comes out can their chemistry work in the real world or will their rivalry be their downfall？This was a really quick and utterly enjoyable read。 The pacing was good， the writing was genuinely compelling and the characters were incredibly endearing。 I loved seeing the POVs of both Victoria and Owen—with getting to know them it was easy to see they were perfect for one another。 Their chemistry was off the charts and their interactions （on social media and in person） was absolutely perfect。 Overall， an absolutely fantastic and enjoyable read that I’d recommend to all rom-com and contemporary romance fans。Also， thanks to Headline and NetGalley for the arc。 。。。more

I really liked this book。 At first I was afraid because it starts with the main characters being in bed together and I usually don't like that。 But in the end I think it was the perfect start to this book。 My only problem is that the "I was so so poor and you're so so rich you don't understand what it's like for the rest of us" well it got old real fast。 A majority of the problems the couple faced was about money and I got tired of it。 I really liked this book。 At first I was afraid because it starts with the main characters being in bed together and I usually don't like that。 But in the end I think it was the perfect start to this book。 My only problem is that the "I was so so poor and you're so so rich you don't understand what it's like for the rest of us" well it got old real fast。 A majority of the problems the couple faced was about money and I got tired of it。 。。。more

I KNEW I would love this book。 I'm such a sucker for the hate-to-love trope！ It was everything I wanted and more！ Their chemistry was perfect and they were so likeable as individual characters that I really wanted to bang their heads together to make them realise they are perfect for each other。 If only I could go back in time and read this book for the first time again。。。Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 I KNEW I would love this book。 I'm such a sucker for the hate-to-love trope！ It was everything I wanted and more！ Their chemistry was perfect and they were so likeable as individual characters that I really wanted to bang their heads together to make them realise they are perfect for each other。 If only I could go back in time and read this book for the first time again。。。Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

There seems to be a surge of 'You've got mail'-trope books out there at the moment。 I must have read 3 in the last months but I can't seem to get enough of it。 I just like the trope of enemies being online friends。 Victoria and Owen are enemies in the court room， but online they are Nora and Luke， with a steady friendship。 I did not really like Victoria but I can admire her grit and determination to make it as a litigator and not letting her difficult upbringing keep her from fulfilling her goal There seems to be a surge of 'You've got mail'-trope books out there at the moment。 I must have read 3 in the last months but I can't seem to get enough of it。 I just like the trope of enemies being online friends。 Victoria and Owen are enemies in the court room， but online they are Nora and Luke， with a steady friendship。 I did not really like Victoria but I can admire her grit and determination to make it as a litigator and not letting her difficult upbringing keep her from fulfilling her goals。 She detests Owen as he comes from a rich family， but there is a definite spark between them。 There was a bit of a silly argument near the end， but the conclusion was very satisfying。 *** I requested and received an ARC via Netgalley and this is my honest and voluntary review。 *** 。。。more

I really wanted to love this book。 I LOVE rom coms and there was so many cute references to them in this story， but the characters feel flat to me。 I never really liked Victoria and Owen seemed nice enough。 The conflict towards the end was so silly that I didn’t understand why there was a problem or a situation。 The ending was cute though so I liked that。 。 Overall， if you love rom come you will like this book。 I received this ARC from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for my honest review I really wanted to love this book。 I LOVE rom coms and there was so many cute references to them in this story， but the characters feel flat to me。 I never really liked Victoria and Owen seemed nice enough。 The conflict towards the end was so silly that I didn’t understand why there was a problem or a situation。 The ending was cute though so I liked that。 。 Overall， if you love rom come you will like this book。 I received this ARC from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for my honest review and opinion。 。。。more

What a great rom-com debut！ Once I started this book I couldn't put it down and had to finish it asap。You jump right into the story and know right away that Victoria & Owen are Nora & Luke: archenemies IRL， （anonymous） best friends online - that anonymity is what allows them to be honest and vulnerable， and what makes them so essential in each other's lives。 It's the only place where they don't feel like they have to put on a facade。The characters felt very real and I could see where they were c What a great rom-com debut！ Once I started this book I couldn't put it down and had to finish it asap。You jump right into the story and know right away that Victoria & Owen are Nora & Luke: archenemies IRL， （anonymous） best friends online - that anonymity is what allows them to be honest and vulnerable， and what makes them so essential in each other's lives。 It's the only place where they don't feel like they have to put on a facade。The characters felt very real and I could see where they were coming from - which made it easy to sympathise with both sides。 I enjoyed the banter between Victoria and Owen a lot and loved seeing them getting closer， their relationship develop。 Victoria's reaction towards the end felt a tad bit too much for me 。。。 but maybe that's just me being too forgiving ^^ Anyway， I couldn't wait for them to find their happily-ever-after， 'cause they both deserved it so much！！"I Love You， I Hate You" was such a fun and quick read that had me hoping and rooting for both MC's from the very beginning。 This has definitely put Elizabeth Davis on my radar and I'll be keeping an eye for future releases！Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review！ 。。。more

Quite a lot of back and forth messaging in this one which I started to find tedious but when characters met and developed I was hooked。 A good angle with online v offline personas。
