The book does talk about weight a bit & that is something I found a little off putting.

3.5 Grotto Kiss Stars ⭐
Spicy Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5/5
This is book 3... There are spoilers in this for the previous books... so read with caution...but know this is a very predictable story with some spice, so I don't think the spoilers are too "shocking"
So our dear old lovebirds are back together again. Now they have to deal with the struggles of a long-distance relationship because Abby has been thrust back into her small-town podunk world after her father's accident...only this time having a billionaire in tow.
This continues to feel like the vibes of taking the mentality of people from Hart of Dixie and mixing it with Gossip Girl. There is small-town gossip, an overbearing mother-hen who wants to run her daughter's life like she wants to... (Gosh I hate that woman) and just general absurd drama where Abbi continues to find herself walking in on people having sex...
I felt like I enjoyed this one a little bit more than book 2 because I am finally starting to know our characters. Abbi struggles a lot with her relationship insecurities in this novel and the plot continues to play into the themes of miscommunication and assumptions.
It honestly felt like Henry had a teleportation machine... For a busy businessman with a girl who is halfway across the country (and sometimes the world) he finds a way to be with her in her little town VERY OFTEN and VERY QUICKLY... He's very much a man of little words and from my perspective, very much an arrogant asshole. He is still closed off on his feelings and very much the type of man to play into the "I obviously care about you as I keep buying you things and taking care of you". I wanted him to start talking and open up a bit more. But through his actions, you can see that he does actually care for Abbi. It's probably that no one has ever actually told him or taught him how to love that he doesn't know how to deal with his feelings.
Abbi is racking up A LOT of experience. For someone who a couple of months ago was a virgin, to have not only slept with multiple people but also had a throuple, watched people have sex multiple times and had a girl go down on her with her boyfriend holding her hair... It really leans into the title of "Teach Me".
Considering I inhaled this book and am diving directly into book 4, I would say I enjoyed it! It's entertaining and basically trashy spicy popcorn that I can't get enough of.
