Worthy of the hype for the smut content alone. I had a silly goofy fun time and will be reading every other book in this series.

not seeing Anastasia’s solo career is a miss on the authors part. She gains all of this confidence via her man but it would have been so much more interesting to see her do it for a career that is entirely reliant upon herself. The public non-consensual kiss was visceral to read and if it *needed* to be included, it should have happened with more than 20 odd pages left in the book to see some of Anastasia’s growth and processing which we were granted for much less severe plot points.

This book is very long and there were some things I felt could be cut out, some relationships I felt could be tamed down. But overall, I really enjoyed this! The spicy scenes were excellent. Nate as a character is phenomenal. He’s a great example of what healthy masculinity looks like without being perfect.

Really liked this novel-good spice level, medium to low stakes, quick read! Loved the modern setting, the characters were a lot of fun. I do think some of the heavier subject matter was a little clunky but not mis-handled.

“The only time I ever want to see a grown man on his knees in front of me, Nate, is when his face is between my legs. So no, I don’t want you to beg me.“

This was an amazing read which I would have devoured in three days if I was not planning to go on a trip. I was able to finish it in Japan and happy to find out why it’s a popular booktok/bookstagram read! It did not disappoint because I was laughing, swooning, learning and falling in love with how Anastasia and Nathan are as a couple. A match-made in heaven, definitely. 

Must be something about an enemies to lover that makes me root for them so much more. All the banters and especially when their friends (specifically the roommates) join in on the funny moments. You can’t help but be jealous of their friendship that will for sure go on for years. Also, the author is out there cooking a book specially for Henry, our bb! 

The sexual content was also on point. Compared to erotica books out there, this is mild. Hannah balanced out the smutty scenes with the non-smutty scenes perfectly. The smut scenes were just the right amount of details and to be honest, not really the plot. It’s literally there to spice it up so much which I’m sure I’m not the only one who loved it. 

10/10 will recommend to people who’s looking for a good book with smut content.

This book was pretty solid. I loved Anastasia and Nathan as a couple. I also really appreciated how careful Nathan was to make sure Anastasia really wanted to be with him. I wish I could pinpoint why this isn't a 5 star read for me, but in general I think there were a lot of secondhand cringe moments that I really struggled with. Overall though, I don't doubt that I'll eventually re-read this.

There's a lot of discussions in this book regarding improper eating. While not what may be considered an eating disorder, it is absolutely disordered eating brought about by the fatphobia of some of those around her.
