The erotica part was fine though there wasn't nearly enough aftercare. Almost everything else was somewhat painfully cringey and embarrassing to read. The ending just wasn't it. A romance book written in third person was a definite pallet cleanser.

You can just tell when Tessa Bailey is the author of a book, she has such a talent for incorporating humour into her books without it being cringey and forced. I will say the whole “fun-sized” nickname was an ick for me personally, but that was probably my only complaint.

When I realized the book was about an aspiring comedian I was worried, and I expected it to be awkward and unenjoyable to read about, but they did a great job at executing the plot in a way that was funny and captivating (hehe)

The spice in this book was AMAZING. It was a nice change from the mostly vanilla scenes that you usually find in Tessa’s books. They did a great job of taking a dark kink and writing it in an almost light hearted way. I would read this again just for the spice.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the epilogue being mostly cantered around the MC’s career, but nonetheless this book definitely still earned 5 stars from me.
