    Loved it but the “age gap” hangup was weird
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2024*

There were several instances when they mentioned Tessa is older than Linc, so I was expecting her to be like 40 and him in his 20s.Nope, she’s 3 years older than him and they’re both in their early to mid 30’s. 32 and 35…As someone in a relationship with this same “age gap”…rude. And the weird stances on single moms from... another single mom felt underdeveloped.Otherwise, I thought this book was cute.

    Enemies-to-lovers story that surprised me in the best way possible!
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2024*

Carrie Elks has done it again with Strictly the Worst, another fabulous addition to the Salinger series! As the fifth book in the series, this enemies-to-lovers story surprised me in the best way possible. Normally, I wouldn't gravitate towards a story like this, single mother and slightly younger male lover intrest, but my love for the Salinger series drew me in, and this book did not disappoint.I absolutely loved the characters in this story. Their relationship development was beautifully written, showing growth as they navigated their feelings. The way their personalities played off each other added a rich dynamic that kept me engaged throughout the book. Additionally, seeing snippets of characters from previous books intertwined in this story is a favorite detail of mine.As a New Yorker, I appreciated how this book was set more in Manhattan, adding a familiar and exciting backdrop to the unfolding romance. Although it wasn't as spicy as Strictly Not Yours (still spice tho), the humor and wit of the Salinger brothers had me smiling and laughing. I'm so obsessed with all the Salinger brothers and their character development, and this book was no exception.💥semi SPOILER ALERT💥The epilogue and bonus epilogue were by far my favorite parts! I couldn't sleep after finishing because reading about the characters' futures kept my mind racing. It was the perfect conclusion to an incredible story, leaving me both satisfied and eager for more.I'm seriously excited for Brooks' story, but knowing that the series will soon be over makes me sad. I'm beyond excited to read the final installment, even though it means saying goodbye to my favorite series.

    That Island Magic!
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2024*

This book was so good I lost sleep over it because I literally couldn’t put it down until I had read the entire thing. I’ve loved all of the previous Salinger Bros. books, but Lincoln and Tessa’s story might just be my favorite so far.Some fun Tropes to Expect:Enemies to LoversSingle MomForced ProximityOffice RivalsOnly One BedHe Falls FirstLincoln and Tessa have insta chemistry. What starts out as a rivalry turns into some fantastic tension. Linc doesn’t like Tessa simply because she seemed to take an instant dislike to him from Day 1. Tessa doesn’t hate Linc, but she resents how things seem to come so easily to him while she fights for every bit of advancement or credit. The one thing neither of them could deny was they were also both attracted to one another. All of that tension comes to a head when they are both sent to make a pitch to a client on a gorgeous island resort. A beautiful setting with of course only one bed soon leads to more, but what happens when they go back to reality?I absolutely loved watching Lincoln and Tess fall in love. They both were struggling with lots of internal baggage, but somehow they always clearly saw one another for who they were. Lincoln was such a great MC with tons of charisma and charm. His acceptance, his fear and the way he loves just hits your heart. Tessa was a fabulously strong FC who discovers that sometimes you have to trust and take a leap in order to accept your own happiness. I was shipping these two the entire book!All in all this was a 10/10. There was lots of tension, fun steamy scenes and plenty of good ‘ole Salinger Bros banter. Highly recommend!
