I really really wanted to longer this book. I usually love friends to lovers. But it didn't feel like a balanced friendship and relationship. Just wasn't into the characters.
Zero plot, didn’t really even care about the characters. The premise had so much potential but I was so disappointed

It was cute and sexy. Liked the fat nb rep. Plot just didn't hold up quite enough for me and the pacing of the romance felt a little off. The third act breakup was so forced.
Like… eyeroll… 2.5 stars
The story was interesting at first then turned into a multitude of gratuitous sex filled chapters with no narrative benefit. The third act breakup was nonsensical and came out of nowhere, and the recover was so abrupt as well.
I actually really enjoyed each character's individual stories aside from the romance, but every time the romance came back I was seriously rolling my eyes.
TLDR: Set-up was good, characters were interesting, actual romance ruined it.

The cover says it all! I really enjoyed the concept of this one. The spicy was ~spicy~ and navigated queer sex realistically.

There were a few character flaws I struggled to get through and I think the third act breakup could've been done better.
.
I would recommend this for a quick, spicy summer read!

I had high expectations for this after seeing a friend rave about it. But I needed more plot, less spice.
The "friends to lovers" trope almost always starts off with the issue of romance possibly ruining the friendship. But even after agonizing over that for the first part of the book, the two MCs very quickly fell into a very intense relationship (that was basically all sex). Once they got together the book became all spice, no plot.
