this wasn't necessarily a miss for me, but the ending really let me down. it took a bit for me to get into this and be rooting for them, but once i was in, i was in. these two are HOT AF - especially trixie, like damn woman
YES TELL THAT MAN HE'S A GOOD BOY
but the ending
where he yelled at her while drunk????
nooooooooo, i hated it.
this may be my trauma talking but i would NEVER get back with a man who did all that to me, drunk or sober.
so yeah, this had the potential to be favorite of mine, but it fell flat. i am looking forward to the next book because i LOVED the boss babes!!

I feel like I would have much rather read about Trixie and the other boss babes than hear about Andre. He struck me as really immature, and I feel that Trixie would have been better off without him.

Overuse of the term “boss babes” and while Trixie was a lovely character, she clearly was part of an MLM.
