I did enjoy this book. It's an omegaverse story in an urban setting, which is a favourite of mine. Amongst some of the better in this category, this book only took me 24 hours to get through, though there was a little bit of skimming in the sections that were unnecessarily lengthy. 
The characters are all flawed but funny and somewhat loveable. I liked the dynamics of the relationships for the most part, though wish there was a little more individual time between Lydia and Lucas/Lex so that we could see those relationships develop. 
I didn't love the main conflict being one of previous SA and DV. It was a bit of a cop-out and seems to be the one thing we wont ever escape in omegaverse. The cliff hanger is also something I don't like, though I understand why its often used in indie publishing.  
Overall, I recommend to omegaverse lovers and will read the second book to see what happens.
