I have literally one criticism of this book and it's that I don't personally don't like the smell of peaches and so the constant repetition of how good Juno smelled in her peaches and cream way was a bit grim. Clearly that is a me issue I'm going to work on because this story was great and as soon as I finish writing this review I'm diving into book 2.
I appreciated how different all of the MMCs were in this - it can be easy in these stories for them to all blend into the same person, but each one here consistently had their own distinct personality. Within the constraints of the size of the book and the number of Ms being dealt with the progress of the relationships didn't feel forced, either. Excited to see how it all pans out!
