The book started out heavy with the sexual content, a one-night-stand opening the scene for the rest of the story. It did bring itself back and allowed you to glide into the story, showing you glimpses of Cassie and Erin’s lives.
I did find the author to lack good world-building, but that may just be because I usually prefer fantasy to contemporary romance. I also found Parker, Acacia, and the other side-characters story and involvement to be lacking. This could also be because of the POV that the book, following only ever Cassie or Erin, but I wish we could’ve seen at least more of Parker.
The spicy scenes did take a break for a moment, but soon came back around and good god—that is not a book I would reread around others. It was tense, intense, and hot. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something stronger than Delilah Green, but not a straight-up porno.

Also, hate how they just threw in the underdeveloped "Black bestie" shoulder to lean on for the two white women for the sake of "diversity".

this isn't my type of book, but it was recommended to me for the "weird plot." i was expecting something more surreal or even sinister, but it turned out to be a story about a middle-aged divorced woman sleeping with her college-aged daughter's best friend. while that's a slightly complex premise, the story itself is not at all complex or gripping. this book clearly isn't for me, but i know someone out there would love it, so i gave it 2 stars
