TROPES: Cam Girl, step brother, s3x club

This book was recommended to me EVERYWHERE because of the cam girl element to it, and it's safe to say it definitely did not disappoint. It also covers mental health issues amongst men which is the first book I've ever read which covers this tricky matter - if anyone else has more recs like this, I need them! Roll on book 3.

this was hot… but damn if the step sibling aspect didn’t give me the ICK

I did really love the mental health rep and body positivity we got from our two main characters, and obviously the s3x was ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

3.25

Hmmmmm… I’m not sure how to wrap up this review lol. I enjoyed it but it wasn’t at all what I was expecting and idk why tbh.
I felt like things escalated sooo fast. It started with. After Garrett seen Mia on the app and went to the lake house, everything escalated too quickly. And I hated hearing Mia say that she had been in love with him for so long. I just felt like it wasn’t genuine. A crush, I’d understand. But to be in love with him when you say all y’all do is fight felt fake to me.
Then right away they start talking about sex and I was thinking woaaahhh that was fast.
And I can’t forget the cringy writing. “Kitten” is so cringe. The words used during some the sex scenes were cringe. I just kept making that stank face. I didn’t like it all that much. 
The reason this is a 3.25 star is because at the end, when we get that section of Garrett reliving 10 years ago and after when he explains his depression, I was able to relate. It was explained almost perfectly. The spiraling is real, keeping to yourself so no one really knows what you deal with is real. When Emerson said, <SPOILER>
“You think depression is something to be ashamed of, Garrett?” 
I can feel that. It was probably the only time I felt something in this book. 
“It felt like dark voices in my head, always telling me how bad I was, how hopeless everything was, and I had no choice but to believe it. I was the laid-back, easy-going guy. I wasn’t supposed to be depressed. So I did everything I could to hide it.”
And when Mia asked if he was ever prescribed something he said he was never diagnosed. Ugh I felt all that in my gut man. I related to Garrett and that’s the reason I gave it 3.75 stars. 
And I loved at the end, he was prescribed meds and started therapy. And I especially loved how he didn’t want to start trying for a baby until he felt he had his depression under control. A lot of parents don’t work through their mental issues and it’s brought up and merged into their kids and it’s a very real thing. I love the representation of therapy and working on mental health before making huge decisions like that. 
</SPOILER>
All in all, 3.25 stars ♡ 
🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

Was this good? - yes. 
Was this the most taboo thing I've EVER read and likely will EVER read? - yes. 
Was this uncomfortable to read in places because of the step siblings thing? - yes.
But, did I have a really good time reading this - 🤔 yes 🙈.

Do I ever want to discuss this book in more detail? - NO. 😂🙈
There will be no further questions.
