I loved this book. It’s a great enemies to lovers/secret relationship book. Oak and Quinn are lovable yet real and act like actual humans who make mistakes. The banter, flirting, and the writing is ✨perfect✨. Thoroughly enjoyed this book even though it took me for-freaking-ever to finish.

I thought this book would do more for me, but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Some parts were funny but I didn't love Oakley and thought the drug plot was unnecessary. Plus there was very little exploration of their families which disappointed me.
I wish the author focused on Quinton forgiving Oakley rather than having a time jump because that would have been interesting to see. For a book that was pretty much just about the two of them, the characters felt underdeveloped. It would have been cool to hear more about Oakley coming out as gay for instance or even about his relationship with his uncle. I felt like the author missed an opportunity with these characters.
