A Deal with the Devil by Elizabeth O'Roark

5.0

The sheer perfection of this book. I have no words. This gif represents how f*cking delicious the sexual tension was in this. One of the best written slow burns I have ever read.

Have you ever read a book without a SINGLE FLAW in it? If not, this will be your first.

If you are not a romantic person, this book will turn you into a hopeless romantic. If you are an atheist, this book will have you praying for a church wedding and for this d!ck every sunday. She is beauty, she is grace, she does not over extend miscommunication tropes in your face. She will make you squeal like a teenage girl.

As the disgusting Swiftie that I am I cannot deny this book will enter my very well known "drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain, kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain" list.

This book will make you feel like you are the main fucking character, on the way out from your corporate american job, you realize in the middle of the hot streets of New York City that there is one asshole you can't get out of your head.

You will throw away your starbucks coffee in the nearest trash can, call a CAB (not a taxi, its NYC) and run back towards where he works just to find out he was already on his way to do exactly the same for you.

You will look at each other and you will finally tell him with blurry eyes (because you can't keep this confession within you any longer): I hate you. He will say: I know.

He will grab you by the neck to kiss you so deeply and fiercely that your entire life will escape from you and inside that single moment you will become one. You will curse him, hate him, wish he was dead but you won't regret it any longer.

Because you finally said fuck it, fuck this, fuck keeping my heart at bay, fuck lying to myself, just for that one single moment of blissfulness when you are finally able to let go and just give in to whatever the fuck it is that you feel for that man standing right in front of you.

And that ladies and gentlemen is how I feel when I read this book, congratu-fucking-lations to Elizabeth O'roark one more time. For creating the most mind-blowing, perfectly constructed enemies-to-friends-to-lovers since Nick and Jess from New Girl.

I hope this book makes you as happy as it made me. It is funny, light-hearted, well written, well developed and just a fucking amazing time overall. This book made me forget I hate romcoms. All Heil Elizabeth.
