How do I say I'm still in shock, like the spice was givinggg I felt like I was there. Then the entire bi awakening and the second chance trope its absolutely cute, this was my first throuple book and honestly it wasn't that bad at all it might have just awoken something knew in me .Plus I am so happy there wasn't a 2nd act breakup and there was communication and honesty through even when the tension and them still denying their attraction. I wish I could read this book again honestly.

gacre's review against another edition

3.5

This book takes place in the most fascinating alternate universe: one where society is really normal about throuples, but seemingly draws the line at sleeping with the coordinator of the charity you work with. It’s also a universe where the “ice bucket challenge” didn't happen in 2015, as it was the FMC’s million dollar idea to save her charity.

Did I eat this up? Absolutely, but not for the plot. Did I ignore that this was clearly the 3rd in the series so I could jump straight to the MMF story? Absolutely. If you’re grabbing this from KU, I’m sure you’re not looking for the next great American love story, anyway.

3rd book best book!!

I think that this series has shown me that the writing style is just not great. There are lots of plot holes, not a whole lot character development, and just overall feels a bit cluttered. However, this 3rd book in the series made all of that much easier to ignore. I won't lie, I did a fair amount of kicking my feet and giggling.

I truly wish that there would have been more regarding the characters themselves. Everything we learned about who they are was either very surface level or glossed over far too quickly. There was also alooooot of smut. Which is fine, I guess, but personally I would be willing to sacrifice some of it for more actual plot. I really liked the characters - at least what I was given of them. Would have loved more!

The plot of this one seemed much more clear and laid out - definitely moreso than the 2nd book in the series. Still some plot holes and plot points that were not entirely sussed out, but not the worst. I think how much I liked the characters really helped in that.

I did love getting to see Alex come to terms with his sexuality. And we looove Bi representation, woo!!! I did smile the entire time when Alex tells River he loves him.

Honestly could have done without the epilogue - it was too short and too many things were just skimmed over. It felt almost pointless.

Did I love? No. Did I hate? Also no. Would I read again? Maybe. Which is more than I can say for the other two books.

Also what is with this author and the nicknames?!?! Kitten??? EW! AND it was just way too often. But that was also an issue I had with the other books as well.
