no real plot, just smut.
Even for smut this one was a little much. Quinn was so aggressively not like other girls, to the point that her internal monologue was a sludge to get through. It was endless vitriol about how all the women in her life were vapid and shallow. In fairness, her friends did just abandon her to get herself home after getting her shitfaced at a wedding so maybe they deserve her inner monologue of hatred.
Also, one of the MMC's was black, which in and of itself is fine, but the way he was written...it felt very fetishy instead of just part of his character.
