the london celebrities series just keeps getting better and better. sabrina carlton and nick davenport were secondary characters that literally sparked off the page in the delightful the austen playbook, headliners is fully their story. and just utter perfection.
this enemies-to-lovers story works because at the deepest level, both nick and sabrina are so similar. they understand each other's actions and motivations so well, it's why when they strike out at each other they know how to cut deeply.
nick is still in the doghouse for selling out sabrina's family laundry, even though when he finally does get to really apologize for it, he didn't really intend for things to go down the way they did. and there were mitigating factors. he still feels bad about it, and sabrina forgives him because by that point she can see that he regrets it. and while she says she wouldn't have crossed the line he did, the reality is that under certain circumstances, she might have.
but when they are forced to work together. their ambition isn't going to let their petty differences get between success and new contracts at the television station. they are too professional and too driven for that. but the more time they spend together, the walls they'd drawn up over their soft gooey centers come down and then they are nothing but piles of goo to each other. and it's swoony and way less gross than i just described and i love this series. and this one might be my favorite even though i also adore grumpy griff.
