Slow burn and lots of sexual tension buildup, but a very obvious and predictable ending.

Es definitivamente un hermoso libro de romance. Me encantaron todos y cada uno de los hilos "cliché" que formaron toda la trama a la perfección.

Tengo mis pequeñas cositas, claro. Para hacer tanto incapié en la familia de Olive, su presencia es casi nula. Ambos personajes principales no se sienten completamente formados, hay cuestiones muy cuestionables y el plot twist (que se ve venir y no por eso es algo malo) es levemente decepcionante.

Sin embargo, es una lectura ligera, bonita, y bastante caliente si te gustan los """""slow-burn"""".

Highly disappointed by this book after it was recommended by booktok/booksta. If you choose to read this for a light, fun read, I would skip the first four chapters and skim the fifth - they are not written well and are incredibly cringey. I was invested while I was reading but there were so many plot lines left completely open/unresolved and ultimately felt like the couple didn’t have much chemistry at all despite them claiming their love for each other every two seconds near the end.
The author’s style is NOT my favorite, the little side comments read like a middle grade book when this book is really just about sex. I felt like the main girl was very much a pick me type of girl and generally just seemed to hate women around her for no reason. I didn’t really like either of the main characters, I found them bland and their attributes not described well other than their genitalia during sexy time so I had no clue how to picture them in my head.
Also found many, many typos throughout the novel while I was reading (usually lack of commas). Honestly don’t think l’ll read the second book in the series. A few of the sex scenes had a lack of full consent in them (mostly intake of alcohol) and that was very uncomfortable.

next to the fifty shades of grey, this is the worst book i have ever read.

firstly, the writing style was intolerable. this book was like a wattpad book written by a twelve year old— heck, wattpad books like those might have a better writing style, actually.

secondly, this book romanticizes sexual assault. i’m not going to explain further, but drunk consent is NOT consent. taking your partner’s clothes off while they were asleep is not any better either.

thirdly, the characters were so unlikable. the only trait jason has is being a movie star and calling olive “little one”. he’s blander than mal from shadow and bone. on the other hand, olive is literally the definition of a kid in an adult body. i wanted a sunshine main character, not the whole solar system.

i wish i could tell you that it lived up to the hype, that it’s as beautiful as it sounds in the book’s description. unfortunately, it wasn’t.

(never trusting contemporary romance booktok again lol)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and read it in one sitting. To make my review short and sweet: I love Jason Thorn. I wish there was a lot less miscommunication. And I wish as much as I LOVED the spicy scenes, that there were more *falling in love* scenes too (not just spice and lust).

That being said, I loved the characters in this book and I’m happy with how fast paced and cute it was. It definitely gives a RomCom type of vibe and was just adorable and also sexy to read. Read this if you are looking for a cute, spicy romance to make you smile and gawk.
