  • characters are unlikeable
  • sexy scenes did not make any logistical sense
  • unnecessary trauma with no emotions behind it
  • did not root for any characters let alone the main one
  • falsely marketed as a queer romance sexy story
  • I regret the 6 hours I spent reading this book

DNF at page 211

Has some well written chapters for example when she is talking about her past relationships and being introspective but the rest of it is very repetitive and boring. This character is constantly describing how ugly and nasty her clothes are and in general seems like a gross person just for the other characters to act like she's the most beautiful creature they've ever seen?? and the relentless naming of brands like H&M or KFC started to really grate on me.. might try finish this in the future but im getting really bored of it right now. Bought this book for the sex scenes and they're all too short and not written particularly well

I've also seen from other reviews that there is sexual assault in later chapters and I absolutely do not want to read that so on second thought I don't think I will finish this. The cover is way too nice for a book that is this irritating to read

Okay so I feel like this book gets a bad wrap. Is it perfect? No. Have I read infinitely more challenging and skilfully crafted stories? Yes. 
However, the writing style of the author is enjoyable and had me in stitches at the utter filth of it. In a time when things are so serious, this was a lighthearted lift that needn’t be overthought. 

I did think the larger issues such as EDs and family trauma were handled a little too lightly and were owed deeper analysis & integration in the plot.
