Some things felt like we didn’t get a resolution to: June and Pez, June and Nora? It just felt like we had been given all the building blocks and didn’t even get the hint of an answer about any of them. the spice was great but it felt a little glossed over. Don’t get me wrong I don’t think all romance books have to have graphic details of sex in them but the way the writer wrote so graphically about everything leading up to the literal sex acts was the same as any good spice writer, but then it would gloss over the acts and describe the in-betweens and afters, I don’t know if it’s just me but maybe it’s because it’s a female author, writing about gay sex?Graphic: Outing

My only complaint, which might be because of my edition, and I will check when my physical copy arrives (read it on Kindle), is that there are a LOT of time jumps with no warning whatsoever. I would love a bit of a time note, like even just one line "Two weeks later" or something, because, especially at the beginning, it gives you a bit of a whiplash. But besides that, THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING! And I can't wait to see the movie adaptation in a week!!!!!
