NOT THAT GUY is an enemies-to-lovers story, featuring politician's son, Weston, and foster kid, Brenner. As you can imagine, having very different backgrounds means they grew up in different ways, but not the ways you might imagine.

My favourite part of this story was that both of them were more amazed at who they found attractive, rather than why. My least favourite part of the story, although it was absolutely necessary, was the sperm donor who called himself Weston's father. I felt as though I'd trodden in something whenever I read a scene with him in it, my mouth twisted as though I was sucking on a lemon. That man is a tool on the nth degree.

A steady pace and mostly low angst (unless you count the tool!), this was an emotional book about finding out how people can be different to how you expect, and having money isn't necessarily the best thing.

I enjoyed this story and have no hesitation in recommending it. I hope to see more of Grady and his brother in future books.

* A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book; the comments here are my honest opinion. *
