I have complicated feelings about this one. First things first, I do love Tessa Bailey and her writing. I have fun with most of her books and with this one, I definitely enjoyed it more than the first one in this companion pair of books. I thought the book was fun, lighthearted, and enjoyable. However, I think the main conflict of this book was so painfully dumb that I almost found it unbelievable. I'm sure that there is some truth to people not taking you seriously if you're known for sleeping around and having been almost molded into that type of person based on your family/history/and looks. Despite all of this, I still found the book to be doing too much with this particular conflict. It had me rolling my eyes and wishing the two main characters would just communicate and get over it at multiple points. 

Even though the conflict was frustrating, I do feel these two characters fit so well together as love interests and I thought the epilogue of this story was so stinking cute. Overall, it was a good time and I will obviously be reading more Tessa Bailey in the future.
