I am not the type of person to re-read books; I would rather just read a new one, BUT I had to re-read this one! One hundred percent reccomend this book for anyone in a reading slump.

This book has good smut, an awesome group of friends, feels realistic when it comes to their shenanigans, funny at times and has some representation, which is important and welcomed. I was willing to bump up the rating up to a three since despite the way the book dragged on and on, as it was still well written and fun, but I hated how

she went back to accept Aaron as her work partner and even go therapy with him, setting herself back to that toxic environment, when it was clear that he wouldn't and didn't want to change either. He went to the point of triggering an ED on her and that shouldn't be taken lightly. She clearly had self-esteem issues and that rascisistic pos wouldn't help her recover the more therapy she did.

So this did turn me off and from there I basically just skimmed through to see how it would end, because I got bored and didn't want to have to read about her dealing with Aaron anymore.
