What a great read. I initially thought that 500 pages was too much for a romance, well I forgot that A.E. Valdez writes long romance books for a reason.
The mental health rep, the sex positive MCs, the amazing friendships and the drama 🫡 I enjoyed it all.
Marisa and Asher are by far my favorite couple of A.E. Valdez so far. Both of them similar aversions to relationship commitment for totally different reasons. I love that all of it was unpacked and resolved at the right time. Asher’s mom’s story is heartbreaking and the decision Marisa had to make at one point of the story, gutting but also felt fairly realistic. The banter between Asher and Risa was always pretty funny, and the bet was funny until it got serious which was so emotional.
