Ugh real lovers are so back! There’s something so intensely romantic about a man who has all the riches and confidence he could want but still becomes putty for the girl he’s in love with.
Both Marcus and Xander are my new book boyfriends and I love how strong and witty yet vulnerable and sweet Sloan was as a FMC. It had good pacing and humour to balance out the sad and steamy scenes. So well written too! Like, come on!!

I’ll find every book you love. Hell I’ll dig up Cervantes and make him write you a new one.
Bro I MELTED!!!! As a book lover? This was exactly what I needed from a MWBW (man written by a woman).
The discussion of being mixed and not feeling fully POC or white was so poignantly included too. I’m not mixed but I deeply felt for Sloan and how out of place she was made to feel. It wasn’t too serious, but it wasn’t dismissive either. One of my fav reads of the year.

The writing was not good in this book 🤷🏾♀️ both POVs sounded exactly the same and the relationship wasn’t progressing

Honestly not a lot happened. I think that the characters could have been more developed. I just did not feel super connected to any of them. And the fact that the big secret that Marcus is holding was revealed and resolved so quickly. It was a very quick read but nothing exciting.

Loved it
I went into this book blind, I didn't read the blurb but the cover caught my eye and I seen the word angsty, that was all I needed

I first read this book when Ava was indie published and I'm so excited for her and this book. This new edition has a new bonus chapter and some good edits. This is a good read. It gave me gossip girl vibes (minus the toxic relationships) with the rich old and new money aesthetics, tight-knit friend groups, and rich elites. The first 40 percent of it is a little slow because the author sets up the characters and their background. I liked that because it set up future characters well. Once the book gets very into the romance part it’s faster but it's still a slow burn.
Sloan the fmc Marcus the mmc and their two other siblings have been close friends until Marcus leaves them all after tragic events and goes to build his business. He’s back and he and Sloane's relationship starts rebuilding when they are in the same city together. Once the romance starts it gets spicy and I was here for it 🤭. This is the author's debut novel and I liked the diversity and how this was written. If you like contemporary romance books with diverse characters and rich people you should read this one. Thank you Ava and Avon for this arc!
