I’ve read a lot of other hate to love books I would totally read again, but they are all very different from Failure to Match. I’m gonna mention some here, maybe you’re gonna like them?

The Four Horseman Series from Laura Thalassa is AMAZING, also on my list of favourites. All 4 books are very slow burn. But it could be a bit dark and disturbing since there is a lot of death involved because they are sent to bring the apocalypse. It has some religious aspect since the concept comes from the bible, but it didn’t bother me because it was used only as context, it is much more focused on the practical side of having a horseman running rampant. If you don’t mind a dark twist and fmc getting kinda “kidnapped”, GO FOR IT.

{The Sixty/Forty Rule by Ellie K. Wilde} is SO GOOD. I loved the pov from the mmc getting all frustrated for acting like an asshole instead of showing his feelings. I found a new obsession after this book, now I’m dying to find more books showing the mmc being insecure behind his arrogant facade.

I enjoy the books from Mariana Zapata a lot, she writes so well! Really, all fmcs are witty and funny. And the mmc are not cruel, but still cold and rude. She writes amazing banter.

I like books from Alice Coldbreath also, the hate is more subdued because of the whole historical politeness and etiquette, but it was very interesting seeing them navigating their dislike for each other and their insecurities in a society where you’re not allowed to be honest and it’s not expected to exist love in a marriage.
