This is not a light hearted or fun romance as many reviews promise. This is the story of a woman who cannot get out of her own way to manage getting any happiness for herself. Yes the big idea is she’s doing it for feminist reasons but the number of times this obviously brilliant woman makes stupid decisions instead of playing the game smartly is too damn high.

Honestly really loved this. I've enjoyed all of Hazelwood's books so far, but I feel like this one went a bit deeper than the first two, which I liked.

I enjoyed this book a lot and was happy to see a female character in a romance book undergo character development. I was waiting the whole time for her to yell at her mom. My only complaint was Hazelwood's continuing obsession with making every female character tiny and dainty and so so so small compared to a massive bear-like-tree-sized-giant-man-giant-hands-giant-you-know-what guy. I don't care all that much if the guy is taller or broad-er but her insistance on mentioning the size difference every third page shines light on her own proclivities
