vinreads's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 41%

I haven't been liking Ali Hazelwood lately but this is a new low. What in the misogynist bullshit was this? Seriously. Lukas is the worst MMC I've ever read in a while and that's saying something because I've hated plenty of them. He just wanted some obedient little doll to have sex with and thought he could fix Scarlett ... via anal? Be warned if that's the kind of book you're looking for, cool! But if you're going into this expecting Ali's usually great works, then that's what you're getting. A man who thinks he can fix a woman via anal. Oh! And he's only 22. There's plenty more I found wrong with this in the short but I did get through, and the sex scenes I skimmed because I wasn't loving them, but if this is what Ali thinks is her greatest work? Maybe she's not so much a feminist after all.

I read this one so fast...

I've read all of Ali's books and I'm never disappointed. (I do like her expanding into other romance sub-genres.)

And I loved that Olive and Adam make an appearance...

Not my favorite Ali Hazelwood book but not a bad read. Just didn’t vibe with me like her other books. I would recommend this one to anyone who likes her books though because her writing and humor still come through this book and so it’s a comfy read in that way

M'ha entretingut i agradat molt la veritat. Però posar-hi una pega, crec que la relació és massa de dependència, que sí, que se suposa que és romàntic, però no.
