This was a cute read. Lots of feminism and representation which was so nice to see. There were some times where I felt like Bee and Nolan didn’t have a lot of chemistry

and it felt like they were fangirling each other the whole time. Also it seemed a little silly they thought no one would figure out who she or Teddy was when she’s so public in the adult film industry. I also feel like Nolan and Bee needed more time to fall in love with each other. They were fantasizing about marriage by the end of the two weeks lol

alas I was here for the vibes. The Christmas themed strip club was cute and there were definitely some cute and funny moments throughout the book. Not my fave but not bad.

This was cute, but it was waaay too long and felt a bit lacking in emotional connection for me. It was hard for me to suspend disbelief that anyone in this book actually thought the lead actress and producer being in the porn business would never get out. It also wasn’t as hot as I expected it to be given the premise. So many references to kinks and toys and lube but barely any of it used on page! 

It was quite enjoyable though and I did love the sex (and sex work) positivity, body positivity, and how virtually everyone was queer, including the two leads.

I liked both Nolan and Bee individually, but I never really bought them as a couple. It never felt like their relationship went beyond wish fulfillment for either one of them. Bee was obsessed with Nolan because he was her teen crush and Nolan was obsessed with Bee because she was his favorite porn star. I never felt like they cared about each other outside of that.

This book was cute and I liked it but it felt a little rushed for them to be super in love.

Like sure they were each other's crush from afar for a long time but they didn't actually know each other. Then they had sex a few times over a span of 2 weeks and they were in love?
