Some people really love this book but it just didn’t do it for me. In fact, it took me a week to force myself through it (I’m usually a read it in one day person). I didn’t feel like the main couple actually even liked anything about each other. It was just sexual attraction (steam wasn’t detailed) and then poof they “love” each other. The character back stories were cliche. The style was hard to get into because it constantly jumped around and focused on the perspective of too many characters.
Graphic: Sexual harassment and Sexual assault
The sexual assault and sexual harassment is not done by either of the main characters. Some of the violence is brushed off because it was against prostitutes… like that made it not a big deal.
