I felt like it moved pretty quickly and generally enjoyed the characters. It was really predictable (which I totally expected), and there were a few places that felt like the author really laid out the upcoming conflict instead of letting the reader decipher anything on their own. A few repeats of information that didn’t need restated. Plus some really antiquated thoughts on a teenage girl’s experience and stereotypes of men being obtuse.
Lastly, Would have appreciated a little more warning about triggers for grief and PTSD from traumatic loss.

Highly forgettable but good smut
I just don't understand how a book involving such heavy subjects (see the tw below) could have been marketed as the cutest smut. This book could 100% revive ptsd so be careful while you look for a quick romance lol

rating-4.5*
this was a very random pick up for me. i found the ebook and decided to try it out! it was also my first book by Helena and i am so pleasantly surprised!! i loved her writing style and this book was hilarious!!! there were many laugh out loud moments for me personally and i found the banter quite witty and fun. the hate to love trope works very well for me but it was a tad bit rushed in this book and tbh its completely fine. i loved Emme and found her quite interesting to read about. she could've been developed as a character a bit more. holly is just amazing too!!
the only reason i didn't give it full 5 stars is due to the fact that i wasn't expecting it to be this steamy and i was a bit uncomfy sometimes....i think it was my fault because i didn't look at the synopsis with too much attention and also i felt their relationship was a bit rushed and too convenient for reality. this is a very fast paced quick read kind of book.
all in all i had a good time and it was quite a fun ride!
i am definitely looking forward to more books by her!!
