OKAYYY I loved the first book but idk something about this book kinda missed the mark for me. I felt like there wasn’t enough romance ? Like they just got a bunch of banter but no special and heartwarming scenes like we got in the first one. I almost felt like they weren’t even in love with each other. It was a very fun read tho, It had me smiling and kicking my feet in the air alot of the time. I loved Mack and his character development I wish we got more chapters with him and his past/family. Liv on the other hand … was another story
**SPOILER**
SO my main issue with the book was Liv and her victim blaming towards the beginning, she did ultimately tried to fix it but it wasn’t enough in my opinion. Also I didn’t like how most of the book was geared more towards the sexual harassment aspect then the romance. I don’t think it was executed correctly with all the victim blaming, forcing women to come forward, etc. Sexual harassment is such a heavy topic and I don’t think it belonged in this book.
Anyways, This was a cute book if you liked the first one, I’ll definitely read the remaining books in this series because I think their book club is the cutest thing to exist.
P.S We all knew Hop was a softy inside
P.S.S WE GOT A NAME REVEAL FOR THR RUSSIAN!! Mr. Vlad

I’m giving this 3 stars right now but honestly it might be a 3,5 I’m just not sure yet. I liked the first half a lot better than the last when it came to Liv and Mack but the second half was entertaining because of the whole sexual harassment storyline. This book was really cringey sometimes and I’m pretty sure I fake gagged more reading this (specifically the last quarter) than Liv did in the entire book. Still think it’s weird and rude that they call Vlad “The Russian” not Vlad or his last name like all the other guys. Overall I liked it but I definitely rolled my eyes a lot and like I said I fake gagged a ton as well
