rickireadss's review against another edition

4.0

omfg this was really really good. i LOVED the banter between kamilah and liam - like ughhh it was so freaking good and hot and i just kept screaming, "just bang already!!" because these two are fire. i really enjoyed the meddling of the grandpas, although at points, it felt a little *too* far for my liking. AND THE SMUT?!?!!? SO HOT - like omg i was sweating.

i think the only thing i wanted was more of liam's past and seeing him address going to therapy earlier on in the story - like i am glad that they ended up going in the last chpater/epilogue but i needed more, because it was already pointed out earlier that he had PTSD and depression from losing his father. also i needed more on why his mom wasn't in the picture. i feel like this was briefly touched and then never mentioned again

i am very excited to continue this series!!

not plot related, but i adored the narrator. she was perfect. 
it was a good story. idk if other ppl will like it as much as me bc i’m puerto rican and heavily related to kamilah & her abuelo. +.5 stars for the taíno representation at the end.
