I enjoyed this more than I thought I would XD. I mean, it's definitely imperfect: typos, over the top reactions from suspicious boyfriends, and the "romance" scenes are really porny XD. REALLY. But the romances were also sweet, and the respect for polyamory was really nice. Most importantly, I liked how this book highlighted homelessness, and how easy it is to become working poor in America. There is a stigma that being homeless is somehow a sign of laziness or other vice, and that's simply not true. A person can work, have good work ethic and big ambitions, have zero addictions, and still... Honestly, if you skip the sexy scenes and just read about this poor girl trying to survive paycheck to paycheck without feeling humiliated, it is a really really sweet read. All three men understand her needs for space and dignity, and don't push to "rescue" her, while still offering support. I still think Brianna was TOO stubborn in the end, she had more of a support network than most and could have done more to alleviate her financial stress XD. But I get it, I get the heap of responsibilities and anxieties making a fool of all. Even if it was campy and porny at times, I'm glad this book told a story that needed to be told. Respect is important! ^__^
