I found the links back to the wedding storyline interesting and I enjoyed the character development of Violet. However, the rest of the book fell a little flat for me. I found the other characters a bit dull and not fleshed out enough, especially all the male characters.

For an erotica I found myself rolling my eyes a lot at the sex scenes. It felt like if someone just looked at Violet she came. There were points where someone barely touched her and she was at the point of orgasm. I get this woman is horny but CALM DOWN.

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook, very sugary and steamy. In was an easy listen, I breezed through it, but wouldn't say it's my favorite :)

It's like Sally Rooney read Bridget Jones and said hey what if she was in her late twenties, went through a bit more trauma, and actually got some every other day

I have never been left more high and dry by a book. I wanted this book to be good SO badly. I wanted it to be queer and sexy and slightly more wild than your normal vanilla smut romance. Unfortunately this one really missed the mark for me, Violet is unlikeable, as is almost everyone else. The manipulation of Violet by the other characters was awful and from the beginning this book just made me sad. There was a lack of consent in most of the sex scenes and the only sex scene i enjoyed was the one right at the END. Which I almost didn’t get to because I really wanted to DNF this one. The plot is lacking and I didn’t root for Violet at all. This book also has some big trigger warnings that I should’ve looked at before I read it. The ending of this book is the ONLY redeeming factor for me.
