Rough Around the Hedges felt like such a great summer read! With such a full cast of delightful characters with lots of personality, this book was both hilarious and heartwarming. Rose and Oliver truly have that enemies to lovers disdain for each other combined with their attraction to each other. It was such a fun and entertaining read!
Rose’s feisty personality was one of my favorite parts of this book. There was never a dull moment with her involved, and her chaotic energy was the perfect compliment to Oliver’s steadfast and calm nature. This combination made for many scenes making me laugh out loud, which is always a treat!
This book was set in England, and I loved all the British-isms and how realistic it felt. From the allotments to the small town feel, Emma Hart captured the true essence of romance in real life. And with so many characters to love, I’m so excited to see what comes next!
I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
