So I did *almost* rage quit towards the end, the last hour and I knew I still wanted to finish it, but I guess I needed a break too, I see you B. I loved this book a normal amount, and still recommend! Was swoony, spicey, and too cheesy and cliche at times, but for characters that have autism and anxiety it works! Probably will continue the series and I do like that authors writing style.

Really liked this. The characters' relationship developed really well. I loved the neurodivergent rep as well as anxiety rep. This goes for all of Chloe Liese's books, she writes really incredible characters. The only thing which I didn't like was the 3rd act break up. 

Bea is a neurodivergent erotic artist who dances to the beat of her own drum. When meddling forces push her into the arms of straight laced Jamie, an anxious pediatrician, the two find themselves looking for more than revenge.

This book was easy to get through and, while enjoyable, I just didn’t vibe with it as much as I would have liked. The connection between the two MCs didn’t mesh in my opinion. Keep in mind this is a Much Ado About Nothing retelling, which I was never familiar with to start.

Something I do love about her books so far is her representation. She manages to include people with disabilities and mental illnesses in a relatable way everyone can connect to.
