Ehh, unfortunately this did not live up to the hype for me. This was like 90% smut without any real sense that the characters had romantic chemistry, and no plot.
Despite having a long history together, once the MC's started hooking up, (around the 20% mark) it honestly felt like they were just doing it out of boredom, and the romance never progressed from there.
There were occasional moments of the fun banter I love in the Off-Campus series, and I enjoyed the first part of this for the most part. However for me, the lack of romantic chemistry/development, along with a bunch of random casual misogyny (from both MC's) and biphobia (from Wes) -both of which went unchallenged- really spoiled the reading experience for me here.
