Adorably cute and so spicy! Great premise that gives the plot durability beyond the romance. I loved Melody and Beat and their moms were pretty damn cool too.

I "picked up" the audiobook because the plot intrigued me, but it ended up disappointing me.  I liked Melody as a character, but Beat's aggressive overprotectiveness got *so* annoying. The romance had potential to be cute, but the vibe of their relationship bordered on insta-love the whole time and gave me the ick. Also, this might just be my ignorance because it was my first Tessa Bailey book, but I was *not* expecting that much spice.

I don’t know how I feel about this one. The second half was definitely better than the first. Melody grew on me and was dorky and funny in an adorable way. 

I wish they were slightly younger because their words and actions sound more like mid-twenty year olds than thirty year olds

and I wish they would talked occasionally even if it was once a year or something after they first met because it would’ve helped curb the insta list. I did feel like the elevator sex scene was ill-timed and diminished the conversation they were having

the blackmailer reveal and Beat’s kink reveal weren’t handled well. It felt like the bomb was dropped mid-sentence and we moved on like nothing. 

I liked the little things they did for each other showing how obviously in love they were it was adorable. I loved how Melody stood up to her mom. I also love that the story was really about Beat and Melody and their parents were the background

I love this book. I love Melody and Octavia. Beat & Trina are good too. I feel like I’ve been reading a lot of books with similar characters, tropes, and storylines, and this one is definitely unique! Very feel good & funny.
