This book is a lot heavier than the flirty title might suggest. The topics it covers include things that no one should ever experience, but at the same time are unfortunately experienced everyday.
I loved Naya's line of work. I love academia and I loved the inclusion of English Learners. I also really appreciated how language was talked about in her own family circles.
Unfortunately I wasn't crazy for all of the ways the romance unfolded in this story. But overall I did like Jake and Naya.
This was a deep read and evokes a lot of feelings. Please see content warnings!
