pros: 
it was fast-paced 
had a great audiobook narrator 

cons:
-while I know she is supposed to be unlikable, the level of fatphobia in this book is unreal and I think fairly harmful. You can write an unlikeable character without this level of unchallenged fatphobia. 
-very crass, and as someone who love steamy romances, it was very very very crass which I know was the point 

all and all -  i just don't think this book is for me
