🎧 The narration for these characters was really good and nuanced overall. There was one thing that kinda bugged me with one of the narrators, but I was able to look past it after a bit. They did a good job with the sexual tension and the sexytimes, as well as the "normal" thoughts and feelings.
🌶️ 5/5. There is no other way to rate this book... It was chock full of hot sex. Like almost all the possible configurations of the four of them happen, there's a ton of fun and playfulness, there's a little bit of kinky stuff. And there was just a lot of sexy scenes 😆
🏳️🌈✊ It's a foursome (MFMM), so there's straight, bi, and queer rep amongst the MCs. As for other forms of diversity, there were one or two side characters that were explicitly not white but they barely get any page time. Even class-wise, 3/4 of them are like mega rich, there's really not a lot of diversity besides sexuality. But you can't be everything for everyone all at once. It's good at what it is.

The story is actually kind of sweet to start out with; a sweet, wholesome man in a bar, helping out a hot lady from some jackass, making a jackass of himself, and they come to know each other in this really intense and elemental way. Then they go separate ways.
It takes an incredibly kinky turn when we realize that our main character not only has her one night, stand soulmate man, but also his best friend, and then about a third of the way through the book, she also picks up a giant Finnish man with no words for anyone but her.
The writing was okay, very simple and certainly not the star of the show but the characters felt distinct and the conflict was realistic. The saving grace from the annoying main characters (annoying as in pushy, lacking boundaries) it was that the communication was on a 10. These people talk about their crap, that’s for sure. There’s a lot of sexual repression and denial which everyone works through with a major moment of reconciliation. Although there were several occasions when the dialogue felt like it was trying too hard to make some great philosophical statement, and more often than not some of the dialogue and inner commentary felt like they should be coming from supernatural characters because then all of this, “you’re mine” talk wouldn’t have felt so cringe. I don’t know…different strokes for different folks I guess. It was all pretty dramatic and drawn out for too long but no great grievances.
This book is straight p-🌽on page, and a lot of it, which is the point so, well done Emily Rath.

There's a lot of behavior from various players toward the FMC in the capacity of her job that is meant to be cute but would absolutely be sexual harassment irl.wildatheart1339's review against another edition
