Ugh. Let's break it down.

What i liked:

• IMMs writing style. She's pretty good at making me feel with the characters.

What i did not like:

• The secret keeping.
• The fact that they were dating. I was specifically rooting against them. Because. Secrets.
• His parents are abusive and he's showing aggressive traits too. I don't trust him (yes, I'm the same, but that's different. He's a man.)
• Boring
• Again, secrets. That is one severe stain on a relationship. I wouldn't trust any of u again.
• The sex scenes. Should've left them out, they didn't add anything to the plot except cringiness

Tuck and Francesca meet at a high-scale sex club and, faces hidden behind masks, they have a no strings attached One Night Stand. Both are intent for it to be only one night, as Francesca has recently discovered her fiancé’s cheating ways and Tuck has no plans for a relationship. However it is hard for both of them to forget the other and they end up running into each other and figure out that they live in the same building. 

I flew through the book, it was well written, had an interwoven story and an engaging romance. 

The book started with establishing chapters from Tucks perspective and I really loved that we got his thoughts on their first meeting. And was a great first meeting that was, they hit it off so well - I loved their camaraderie and chemistry! Overall I enjoyed the romance. 

One of my favorite parts of the story were the side characters. The whole cast of them were great and added a lot to the story as they were distinctive and not one of them felt like they could’ve written off without missing a part of the story. 

It would’ve been interesting if Francesca had revealed her pregnancy a little earlier as the ending felt a little to fast and some plotlines didn’t get the proper amount of times to unfold. 

I was provided an ARC by the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
