I've said it before and I'll say it again: sometimes you just need a little bit of trash. I think I burned myself out a little bit with Fantasy February so I'm trying to just take it easy this month and just read shorter books, more graphic novels, and indulge in a little bit of smutty fun when I'm having a rough day at work. It definitely makes my work day more interesting if my cheeks are on fire and so red they match my hair, which is the same color as a fire engine.

I really don't have much to say about this other than the fact that it was maybe a mistake to listen to it at work. Grace Grant was in top form as narrator, and, even though she was unfortunately tasked with reading both Chloe's AND Bennett's chapters, she did a great job, even though it kind of made me start giggling like a twelve year old whenever I heard her voice referring to his dick in the first person. Not her fault, of course, just hilarious and weird. Would it have been that difficult to find a dude to read his chapters?

This wasn't anything close to being special, nowhere near as good, well-written, or meaningful as Christina and Lauren's other book, Autoboyography, but it was a good time waster and it certainly didn't ask much from me as a reader, which was nice. I just kind of switched my brain off and enjoyed my time and, after reading over forty books so far in 2018, it was nice to have a book that gave me a bit of a break.

Read on audio and finished because I had nothing else to listen to. Did NOT get over him basically sexually assaulting her at the beginning. Both characters were unlikeable. Got better at the end but was pretty boring in the middle

Not my type of read. With the exception of the consistent interruptions of sexual scenes, I found myself lukewarmly interested in where the story was going. Kinda like a bored Saturday afternoon when one is channel surfing and happens upon show that may not be the usual watch but you just kinda wanna see where it goes.

Again, not my type of read.

I loved the first 6 chapters of this book and the last couple chapters of this book.
I feel as though the middle could have done a little better but I did still really enjoy this book and cannot wait to continue on with this series!

Can there be too much smut in a book? This one is it.
