Second book by the author. I definitely liked Do Your Worst much more. 

Things I liked:

1. Clara has to do something very brave that totally alters her life 
2. Josh struggled with self worth 

Things I didn’t like:

1. I have a hard time feeling sorry for people with trust funds 
2. Josh’s alienation from his family isn’t in line with how in tune he was with softer emotions. 
3. The whole plot with Naomi forbidding a relationship 
4. The whole plot with the PR firm and election campaign 
5. The love was just lust. It didn’t feel like love.

I had read "Do Your Worst" and decided to look at what else Rosie had to offer since I enjoyed that one. This one was recommended to me by my work wife, and, honestly, I'm so glad I read this one second. If I went into other Rosie books having already read this one, I might've been disappointed. However, now having both of those under my belt I'm really looking forward to continuing my Rosie journey.

This book is phenomenal. It's the gold standard in my opinion of Opposites Attract. I mean, West Coast porn star and East Coast socialite? It'd be like Ron Jeremy and Paris Hilton (with a much smaller age gap).

Okay, so quick and vague run down of why everyone should read this book:
- Josh is a porn star but NOTHING like what you'd expect
- Super sex-positive
- Discusses issues and shortcomings in the porn industry that are true to life (I'd imagine)
- Sexy Lessons
- Hot Hot Hot
- Love Triangles (kinda, sorta, in weird ways)

I really really really enjoyed this book and am sad I can't read it for the fist time again. 

As always, I go in blind when reading books and think this is a perfect book for you to also go in blind! Not really knowing where the story is going since there's a few way/places it can go was so much fun for me.
