Things I liked:
The storyline in general.
There were parts that made me laugh out loud.
There were parts that were really hot.

Things I didn’t like:
Jameson called Emily a bitch way too many times.
The fact that they went from loving each other to hating each other every single day that they were together until the last chapter. The toxicity of this relationship is not for me.
I enjoyed Aaron and Molly’s side stories (until Aaron’s got just as annoying as Emily’s), but we received no closure. Those loose ends were not tied up. I’m hoping that gets rectified in the following books. I’m planning to give book #2 a try at least, but if it’s the same dynamic, unfortunately I’ll have to stop there.
This is meant to be an age gap book, but Jameson acts like he’s a 20 year old man child, so there’s that.
