This book said, "I'm gonna be a smutty Hallmark movie" and held to that level of plot and character development. I didn't find the MCs 100% believable, and they changed their minds so quickly it gave me whiplash. Because of the surface-level development, I wasn't sold on their attraction (sex worker that is now disgusted at the thought of touching other women? Trust-fund socialite that immediately forgets about her lifelong flame?).That being said, the male MC is genuinely sweet, caring, and consent-focused.

There was a lot of bizarrely intro-level sex-positive feminism, including some sections that read as ignorantly anti-kink. Don't go here for nuanced discussions about sex, gender, or class. I don't want to yuck somebody's development, though. This COULD be a good intro for people trying to reckon with negative assumptions about sex work, female pleasure, and porn. I wouldn't recommend it for folks who have done deeper work around sex positivity.

This was a good brain break, and some of the writing was really nice and occasionally funny, but you get what you see (or less?).

A fun book all around. Fun premise, a east coast trust fund socialite finds herself abandoned by her crush and becomes roommates with a pornstar. They both grow and realize their flaws and how it has negatively affected those they love.

I loved how caring Josh was with her when they were being intimate. Also, the ex gf/ business partner was very fun. I hope she gets a book.

Delightfully hot with a heavy feminist lean and plenty of plot. Almost too much plot? Characters were well-crafted and tangible.

This was a really fun read. The dynamic between the characters was great, and I really enjoyed all the sweet tender moments as well as the spicier scenes. It definitely suffers a bit from the eternal romance novel problem of ending too soon (hasn't anyone ever heard of aftercare? post-coital cuddles? if I don't get even a bit of the we're-finally-official-honeymoon-phase-fluff, what is the point?), but not nearly as egregiously as some other books I've read.
