Only took a few points off for the way the characters constantly restated that Delilah was a casual relationship only type of person. That got annoying.

i found the story cliche and predictable most of the time. i found myself rolling my eyes at some lines or whatever, but i also smiled and laughed at some scenes. it's also longer than it needs to be, but then again it's the first book in the series so i kinda understand. i didn't expect to like iris because she was mean at first, but then she became the funniest character. i'm actually excited for her book. i hope she never loses her charm.
i also loved the ending and how they all became friends, i think it was excecuted well. even better than delilah and claire's instant love story lol
i just think all of the characters would benefit in seeing a therapist. like that's all that i can think of while i was reading some parts. like babes im begging u pls see a therapist and get help with your issues!
i will read astrid's book and let's see what will happen next!

It could have been better. To be honest, this book should have been more about Delilah's relationship with her family or Astrid and her journey from a posh obedient woman to finding out who she really is and standing up for herself, especially against her mother. With that said, can't wait to read the second book.
I thought Delilah and Iris, especially when they were interacting with each other was very childish and immature. I really didn't like Iris, she was the overly sexual best friend character and I hate that type of character. It just comes as bland, annoying and lazy to me.
The book also made me realize how much I don't like the relationship bet trope. At the beginning, Delilah and Astrid, make a bet that Delilah can make Claire fall in love with her. Really, the bet makes no difference, it could have been written out and the book would have been exactly the same. It was just there to drum up more conflict in the third act.
I don't know I just didn't like this book as much as I wanted to or really cared about Claire and Delilah's relationship.
