Overall this book just wasn’t for me. I don’t vibe with the writing style and I came away from it feeling the characters were underdeveloped. For me, it almost felt like reading fan fiction, and while I’m not opposed to a spicy book, the lack of connection I felt between the main characters left them feeling a bit unfulfilling. 
So, yeah, I didn’t hate it, but it won’t be taking a permanent place on my bookshelf.
