I love the growth of the FMC. She’s on a journey of self discovery. This is a great slow burn and enemies to friends to lovers story. A bit predictable but well written and real.

Felt like something was missing especially with the Hendrix drama - it went by too fast, also the writing sort of felt like she was journaling ~ other than that, I love ace

“Harlow Shaw…” I press a kiss to her lips. “You’re all I’ve wanted and all I’ve needed. Will you marry me?”

All I've Wanted All I've Needed was the first audiobook I’ve ever listened to, and I’m glad I did! This audiobook brought this story to life!

I loved the relationship between Ace and Harlow; it felt genuine and unrushed.

Ace was a likable asshole with jokes for days, but Harlow always had a comeback; that’s what made this story so funny

Such a fast paced book but I did enjoy it up until they got together. This man ignored you for weeks and you thought he was fcking someone else and you let him eat you out in public as an apology and suddenly y’all are together

I really liked the tone this book had before Acyn was introduced. I didn’t vibe with him so that kind of sunk the story for me. 

I initially loved the vibe of a young woman striking out on her own and finding herself. So I was all for it. But the negging pissed me off. And *for me* friends to lovers feels less believable when attraction is immediately introduced to the dynamic. The story also felt a little juvenile for my liking. 

But I think the sex scenes were when I really started to feel disconnected from the story. 

So, I can appreciate how beloved this story is and I get it, it just wasn’t for me.
