A cute, steamy romance. I liked the story, I thought it was sweet and not too over-the-top. The progression of their relationship felt pretty natural. I finished in one sitting, but also thought it could have been like 150 pages shorter. Overall nothing too special, but good if you're in the mood for a light read

This book was really fun, and I loved the focus on overcoming shame. The spice and romance were well done too and definitely gave some butterflies.

This book was fun and had a good concept, but it just didn't hit like I needed it to. I found the fmc to be annoying at times (yes I know she had to grow but idc)! For someone who has always made her choices for others I was baffled at how little she thought about her actions in this book. She also had a phd so I know she wasn't dull mentally.

I also was slightly confused when they had their love confession. I just didn't believe in their relationship. I typically do not enjoy romance books that are so heavily focused on the physical nature. This book was not smut heavy, yet I did not see an emotional connection.

I know i've went into detail about why I disliked it, but I still enjoyed this book. I'm just not completely obsessed with these characters. I love forced proximity, so I enjoyed how they were roommates and had to around each other. I can see why so many people enjoy(ed) this book/universe but it just did not hit the mark for me.

I think I would actually die if I told a family member how cute my new roommate is and they recognized them from ✨adult videos✨ and told me to my face.

The scene on the couch was pretty hot though. I wish it kept that energy for the whole book.

I don’t know what it was with this book but I just did not love it. The story was cute but I found both characters kind of cringey so it ruined it for me.
