I Want You Back by Lorelei James
4.0
3.5ish stars. Some bits near the ending knocked it down for me.
I really enjoyed this book, however there were some health aspects that were poorly researched: Jax telling Lucy she couldn’t contract HSV2 from him as the recepient of oral sex, and she telling him later that it was specifically in his sperm so she was less likely to contract it as the giver of oral sex. Her telling him “I’m tired of condoms” after two weeks and he flipping mindsets to say “agreed because intimacy has no barriers” strikes as a bit ridiculous and is not information that should be spread in such a light.
I also had an issue with how at the last minute Jax and Lucy decide to move in immediately without any transitional period completely disregarding the potential effects on their daughter.
Those things toward the end aside, the book was funny, cute, engaging and I read it in one sitting.
