Just wonderful. So far Ali Hazelwood doesn’t miss for me, this book is smart, spicy, laugh out loud funny, and completely heartwarming/heartbreaking all at the same time. No notes, I only wish that I could become as good a writer one day.

Ali Hazelwood always brings it with the fresh writing that is so easy to read. A lot of people are saying that there wasn't enough BDSM representation when that's how the story is framed, but these are college kids that are both new to acting on these desires and just because there isn't extremely graphic scenes, doesn't mean it isn't representative of the lifestyle. It definitely isn't vanilla, but it's tame for BDSM. Either way, I really liked the story and the characters and will continue to read Ali forever!
