At first I was cringing a lot with all the overly sexual descriptions of men and I thought I was not going to enjoy it. But I must admit this turned into a huge guilty pleasure for me. Does it have a bunch of tropes? Yes. Is it super cliche? Yeah. But that does not take away from it being a super enjoyable story with a (yes I cannot believe I am going to say it) hot dude in it.

A book that has an interesting subplot about history being erased or hidden that keeps getting interrupted by booktok tropes checklist.
