This book has good smut, an awesome group of friends, feels realistic when it comes to their shenanigans, funny at times and has some representation, which is important and welcomed. I was willing to bump up the rating up to a three since despite the way the book dragged on and on, as it was still well written and fun, but I hated how

she went back to accept Aaron as her work partner and even go therapy with him, setting herself back to that toxic environment, when it was clear that he wouldn't and didn't want to change either. He went to the point of triggering an ED on her and that shouldn't be taken lightly. She clearly had self-esteem issues and that rascisistic pos wouldn't help her recover the more therapy she did.

So this did turn me off and from there I basically just skimmed through to see how it would end, because I got bored and didn't want to have to read about her dealing with Aaron anymore.

Entertaining and an easy read. Only qualm is there are a lottttt of characters which made it confusing and tricky to follow at times.

I could not get past the fact that the main character acted and sounded like a young teenage girl and kept having to remind myself that they were, in fact, in college. Kinda gave me the ick. Some of the sentence structure had me re-reading a couple times to understand what was being said. Not a plot line in sight. Just stuff happening and Aaron being a complete narcissistic and manipulative prick. Also, it reminds me to take TikTok book recommendations with a very tiny grain of salt. I imagine the vast demographic aimed for this book is for a younger crowd embarking on a spicy reading journey. It certainly is, and how it begins comes quite literally out of *nowhere*

I love quick spicy book, and this was a quick spicy book. I think this one was over recommended and my expectations were too high.
