Damn what a book. I’m no way a perfect book but I really like how the story was layed out and presented. Also it was so hard to put it down.

Was this my first HR book? Well probably not my first but definitely my first intentional time. The chemistry between them was very realistic which I enjoyed and the characters by themselves (both of them) were relatable. It did get a tab bit boring towards the end and I wish the group was more prominent. But other than that a very solid enjoyable listen.

Uhhhhhh I really wanted to love this. I really did. But it ended up being sex negative in a way despite what the plot is about. Also it was a bit fatphobic as well. And there were a few instances that weren’t consensual. But I really enjoyed the chemistry the main couple had which I feel like carried the book.
