SINCE PUB DAY IS SOON HERE IS MY REVIEW ! (:

ki, you have done it again. i am forever in awe of you and i'm so thankful to you for sending me this arc (,: book after book you never fail to amaze me and i am so excited for this to be out in the world for everyone to read

i really loved how jade was a woman in journalism and how the book shed light on the struggles they face in that industry, i thought that was so important!!!!

oh west. THE NOTES!!!! THIS BOOK HAS NOTES!!!! to have a character who has dyslexia and dysgraphia take the time to write notes for jade has me in actual tears. it shows how much he cares for her.


the whole idea of the trade was so frustrating and i felt that through jade's point of view. i understood why west didn't tell her sooner but it doesn't make it hurt any less

"i want to be her first choice and not just because she thinks i can scratch her itch. i want her to see me, to want me, as a man who's developing real feelings for her and not just some athlete who can show her a good time" CRYING i love mr west westman

Okay besides the whole trade situation this was actually cute. Definitely gives more new adult than anything because some of their interactions just seemed so juvenile but the spice was crazy
