Book safety, tropes and tags down below.

This book was entertaining and cute. It took me a while to start liking Zander’s character, so I was pleased when he actually gave a good reason for the way he acted and talked about sex. Bri and Zander were definitely well matched both in and out of bed. The sexual tension was really hot.

My favorite parts where all the interactions with Peanut, without a doubt. It was super cute.

Biggest critique? The cover model should be wearing a crop top, lol. They’re such a big part of the story and Brighton’s character.

Also, why oh why do authors do the oh my god i need to hook up with someone thing?? Would the character die if they can’t f*uck someone right now? Especially after they’ve already met their love interest and they’ve made a connection? It makes me feel kinda queasy when they go looking for a hookup with other people after that. In some books, it makes sense, but here it wasn’t really needed, even if it didn’t lead to anything.
