For an erotica I found myself rolling my eyes a lot at the sex scenes. It felt like if someone just looked at Violet she came. There were points where someone barely touched her and she was at the point of orgasm. I get this woman is horny but CALM DOWN.

the characters are insufferable, especially max who is a complete manchild. i found violet (the protagonist) insufferable at many points too, even if her struggles were very real. she was constantly making stupid decisions. overall, she was a very frustrating MC to read about, especially considering this book is in the first person perspective.
however my main problem with this book is that it's all effect and no cause - everything occurs without a real reason or explanation. it was incredibly frustrating.
there is also so much smut in this book it's almost excessive. it wasn't exciting, but rather very repetitive. i found myself thinking "here we go again" every time.
tldr: mixed feelings. more bad than good. all effect with no cause. characters suck. too much smut.
