Highly disappointed by this book after it was recommended by booktok/booksta. If you choose to read this for a light, fun read, I would skip the first four chapters and skim the fifth - they are not written well and are incredibly cringey. I was invested while I was reading but there were so many plot lines left completely open/unresolved and ultimately felt like the couple didn’t have much chemistry at all despite them claiming their love for each other every two seconds near the end.
The author’s style is NOT my favorite, the little side comments read like a middle grade book when this book is really just about sex. I felt like the main girl was very much a pick me type of girl and generally just seemed to hate women around her for no reason. I didn’t really like either of the main characters, I found them bland and their attributes not described well other than their genitalia during sexy time so I had no clue how to picture them in my head.
Also found many, many typos throughout the novel while I was reading (usually lack of commas). Honestly don’t think l’ll read the second book in the series. A few of the sex scenes had a lack of full consent in them (mostly intake of alcohol) and that was very uncomfortable.
