I think I liked the writing of this book more than I liked the book itself. I'm not one for the fake dating trope (I think it's fantastic when done well but leaves me uninterested when not overtly successful). I wanted to feel the chemistry between the characters more than I did. Elle also felt a little MPDG to me.
I am very interested in the sequels. I do think the writing of this book is what kept me going. And since I like Brendon and Margot more than Elle (sorry not sorry), I have a feeling I will like the next books more. I'm hoping this series progresses like the Talia Hibbert trilogy where they improve with time.
ALL that aside, I do think that bi representation is extremely important and Bellefleur does a great job with it. A lot of bi rep in books makes it feel like it's the character's only or leading by a mile personality trait, but it really just felt like it was just an inherent part of Elle.
I also did like the astrology lists. They were very cute, I am not going to lie
