📝 Okay so this book was super long but it makes sense that it is? It's a why choose with 1 FMC and 3 MMC's, and we get POVs from all four of them. And the book doesn't end when they all get together, it actually spends a good amount of time grappling with what it would mean for famous-ish people to be poly.

🎧 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.

When I started this book I thought it would end a five star. It did not. This book dragged on and dragged on and then became unrealistic. She said this dude was her soulmate and love of her life but by the end of the book she was hardly speaking to him. It was just bonkers and felt like word vomit at the end.

I will never read a book like this again. This book is entirely too long and would’ve been great without the never ending sex scenes. I had to skip forward and play the audiobook at up to 2x speed in several cases. The backstory is interesting but unfortunately overshadowed by the unending sex scenes.

When I saw the audiobook was 14.5 hours I thought there’s no way a book needs to be that long. And the reason it’s so long is because it’s a bunch of drawn out sex scenes linked together by an interesting story. This bin could have been shorter. Way shorter. But apparently the sex scenes just had to be as long as possible. I wish there was a version I’d the book with less sex and more story.

This was the sluttiest thing I’ve ever read. Woah. I picked it up as a joke and got sucked in. I did not at all expect to read a 105 chapter book in a week or less. This is not for the faint of heart and I had no clue what I was in for. There are many kinks that I didn’t know about or arn't interested in but it held my attention. The writing is honestly meh, it was cringy and sappy and kind of stupid but I can’t say I didn’t kind of love it in the end. The characters are well rounded and their own individual people which is appreciated. And while our main character annoyed me a few times I warmed to her too. What a wild ride.
