enjoyed the look into purity culture and “coming out” of that atmosphere—having to unpack and undo all of that to live freely. Also enjoyed Kallum’s dad bod 😉
Babies and baby accidents are a trope I very much dislike
which took this down a few notches for me.  Looking forward to the 3rd book in the series!

I fully went into this expcting to hate it because of certain tropes only to find i love the characters enough not to care lol some of it was a bit cringy but i totally got where winnie came from growing up in Christianity purity culture and how it messes with how you look at things as an adult

this book was goofy and, at times, painfully millennial. i just don’t think i’m part of the target audience here 😭

These books are so delightful, they are sexy and smart, full of heart and emotion, and just so charming. Following up on the characters from A Merry Little Meet Cute it follows Winnie, a purity culture wholesome child star, now a divorced adult who has never had an orgasm (I could kill her ex-husband). She's trying to build a new life for herself in a new way and item number one is to fulfill her contact with Hope Channel by doing their first Hope After Dark movie.

She teams up with Kallum and can't get the scenes right because frankly she has no idea what it's supposed to be like. So she asks Kallum to teach her the ways of sex not realizing that Kallum has had a crush on her since they were teenagers. Unsurprisingly emotions and hearts get involved.

The story is so much fun, the characters are vibrant, the side characters are so absurd but in the best way. This is definitely a must read, not as good as the first one but still totally solid. 

SPOILER ALERT!
This story has an accidental pregnancy. I didn't mind it but I know a lot of people don't like that and I don't want you caught off guard.
