Me gustó, es un romance cursi y lleno de clichés pero muy adorable. Y muy *sexy* 😳. También está buena la reflexión y el análisis que Rosie Danan hace sobre la industria pornográfica. Es un libro super sex positive que busca darle una vuelta de tuerca a los temas que trata. Desde mi visión feminista personal, estoy a favor del trabajo sexual siempre que sea con consentimiento y derechos laborales, así que está bueno que haya un contemporary romance que tenga como protagonistas trabajadores sexuales y lo encare con responsabilidad.

The book has forced proximinity, roommates to lovers, and subverts tropes like longtime friends to lovers and women hating each other who have been with the same man. This book is about sex workers and the porn industry and how they navigate the industry. It's also about love and how societal shame and stigma can be a barrier to fearlessly loving someone. It was Feminist, and I appreciated the sex-positive nature of the book. The sexual content wasn't that graphic (compared to other romance books).
This book felt rushed towards the end and I wish we got more on their background and childhoods. I easily would've read another 100 or 200 pages for more character development and background and more romance overall. The writing was good, reminded me of wattpad in a good way. It was interesting and different than the other romance books I've read this year.
Here are some quotes that I loved: SPOILER
"Change always comes with a closing cost.... But it's still worth trying. Not because the odds are particularly good, mind you, but considering the alternative. There's value in the struggle. Value and touching the raw and bloody parts of our souls, opening them up to the sunlight, and hoping they heal."
"I'm sorry I was too scared to accept it before. I always thought love was supposed to make you itchy. A crawling out of your skin kind of obsession. I thought love was synonymous with pining and logging. That I had to hurt.... But love isn't like that. At least not for me. Loving you is like sinking into a warm bath after a lifetime of feeling cold down to my bones..... It's having someone see me, past artifice and the posturing, and decide I'm more than enough.... My love for you isn't an addiction. Being with you doesn't provide some warped sense of validation for my life. You were never a fling I had to get out of my system. Our love feels like... Freedom. The kind people give their lives for."

Funny, light, fluffy. The perfect thing to crack you out of a reading slump! I love the exploration and shameless discussions of sex and the adult entertainment industry.
