4.5
4.5 stars for Asa, Lauren, and everything about their rivals to lovers arc. Love a bi main character, and especially love a bi male main character. Also, as a former CASA (known as guardians ad litem in Florida), I loved how realistic and well-done Lauren's volunteer work storyline was.
Graphic: Biphobia, Outing, and Religious bigotry
Moderate: Abandonment, Addiction, and Sexual harassment
Important to note foster care plays a huge role in this book. CW for foster care and the family court system.
