​    I truly enjoyed this book. Though a few parts were frustrating to me. I enjoyed the character development throughout the book, and of course, the spice! I especially loved some of the side characters, whose stories I’d love to have as their own standalone books.
 
​     My biggest complaint is that it dragged at some points. Around the middle of the book, I was a bit bored. However, since I loved the author's other books, I kept reading and ended up enjoying the rest of the book once it got past the hump of the story.  I would have to say this was my least favorite of their books so far, though. Overall, a decent read. 


Narrator Rating:​ 4.75 stars
​     The narrators did an amazing job of bringing all the characters to life, using a unique voice for each character. My only complaint is that Elsie sounded quite annoying in the one narrator's voice for her character, very whiny.

I actually enjoyed this one more than I expected. I appreciate the NB representation, and the way that it wasn't the entire focus of the book. There was A LOT more spice than I expected/am accustomed to LOL, but I liked how the author made sure to have the characters talk through stuff prior to trying them.
