The first half of the book was 1.5 star material. I'm it weren't for the hype, I would have DNF it pretty quickly. But WOW. the second half blew me away!

A very fun read! It's not new or spectacular but boy was it fun. The main character, Avery, is brilliant and no nonsense. The Hawthorne brothers and family are a MESS, phew. They're all problematic and that's ok, we all are. Xander is my fave and I wish we saw more of his friendship with Avery.

I wish there was more female friendships and relationships. And I wish Avery was less horny (or allosexual, i guess) omg, we know his eyes are silver pools and we know he's got a scar across his firm torso and she's so aware of the proximity of their bodies like girl ! okay ! focus !!! I'm sure there are other issues but damn, that's what really bothered me because we cannot take a break from it. Also, the love triangle was blergh; I know it's there to keep things spicy but Grayson was so annoying, I wish he was just a side character rather than a potential love interest.
