A delightfully fun summer read. Certainly full of some problematic behaviors that I cannot condone, but everyone needs a guilty pleasure.

This book could have been wonderful if it gave a flying fuck about consent. I was revolted by the way Quinn described

Simon's assault, as if it was just a particularly risqué love scene.

🤢 

I'm so glad that I didn't spend money on this book. I will not be continuing the series.
