So I really donāt know how I feel about this book. I gave it four stars, but Iām not sure I even agree with that five minutes after finishing this book.
The book was so funny! I couldnāt stop laughing and Iām sure Iād laugh rereading quotes I read just yesterday. The family was so cute and felt like a real family with troubles and quirks added in with the love.
And Eli. Heās perfect. Donāt let the back cover fool you (which is literally full of lies) into thinking heās āSatanās Helper.ā His negative actions can completely be explained by a need for therapy, which he got!
My problem with this book: Whitney. She sucks! I really liked her in the beginning. She felt relatable and realistic as a disillusioned millennial who wants love but has given up on it after having her heartbroken too many times. Then, after I realized how perfect Eli is, I realized that she blamed him for their breakup when in reality, it was completely her own fault for not realizing how traumatic both of his parents dying THREE YEARS EARLIER would be to a 21 year old! Then when she laughed while he was having a babyās diaper-induced panic attack, messed up!
Moral of the story? Eli faced so many hardships and grew to be the perfect man while Whitney acts like a 13 year old who has no concept of trauma. So really, Iām giving this book 4 stars because of everyone but Whitney.

I wish this book was longer, it made me belly laugh, cry a little, my heart beat out of my chest. This book was the best Christmas I have read, even though itās only the second one Iāve read. The characters were lovable, especially Pey Pey! Ughhhh I want more!!!!!!
Graphic: Sexual content
Moderate: Emotional abuse and Abandonment
Minor: Cancer, Pregnancy, and Toxic relationship
Mostly just Erotica with a little bit of angst.
