This book has one of the best crafted scenes involving consent that I have ever read. Even good ones tend to have a little bit of an awkward feel, but after reading this one I had to take a break and explain it to my partner it was so good. Ali managed to craft it in such a way that it never felt awkward. Hand to god, I feel like that scene alone needs to be studied in English and Health classes everywhere. Amazing job.
I appreciate that while things get rocky for our MCs for a moment then is never a big cliff jump. The HEA was sweet, and left me happy with the resolution while also being 100% read to pick right back up with these characters one day.
And as a day 1 fan, I so appreciated the cameo mentioned in Ali’s dedication page, and easter eggs from other books.
Also, I agree with Elsie - Bella & Alice should have left all those idiots behind and ridden off into the sunset. (pg 5)

Slow burn with descriptive - but NOT graphic - open door intimate scenes in last fourth of book. Done in a respectful manner highlighting consent, and respectful boundaries.itsartemis's review against another edition
