In this enemies to lovers romantic comedy, Meet You in the Middle follows two staffers in the Senate on either side of the political spectrum. Kate Adams is tough as nails and doesn't want anyone waisting her time. When Ben Mackenzie blows off Kate's child care bill in a meeting, Kate is none too pleased and quickly tells Ben what she thinks of him. The two start sending each other hilarious packages and snarky notes, just to provoke the other. As the two are thrown together at every turn, Kate and Ben decide to call a truce. They slowly navigate a friendship, but feelings start to develop for Kate. In the end, Kate must wrestle with choosing between her heart and her strong political values.
I cannot begin to express how much I loved this book! It was laugh out loud funny and I was totally obsessed with Kate, Ben and the Washington D.C. political scene. I do want to preface this by saying I am probably the target audience for this book. I teach history and love visiting DC, so any time characters can throw jabs at each other using the Constitution, I am there for it! But don't be stress...there's way more romance and pranks, than there is policies and politics.
For me, the highlight of the book was Mr. Ben Mackenzie. Seriously, where is this man and can I have his number? Ben is so swoony: tall, smart, athletic and charismatic. He puts up a tough exterior, but Ben is caring and extremely protective of Kate. I am hereby claiming Ben as my new book boyfriend. Kate and Ben's chemistry was off the charts and the slow burn romance had me turning the pages so quickly to see where the story was going. And that epilogue...😍
I highly, highly recommend reading this book! It's a gem and I loved it so much, I read it in a 24 hour time span. This book will definitely be one of my top reads of 2021. Meet You in the Middle is out now, so grab yourself a copy today!
Thanks @twistsandtropes for the recommendation, and special shoutout to my hubby for putting up with my insistence on recreating the cover.
