opposites attract. forced proximity. sapphic!! we love to see it. i went into this book mostly blind - all i knew was that someone inherited a sex toy store 😏 what i was not expecting was the deeper conversations of losing someone close to you and recovering from an emotionally abusive relationship, but karelia did a great job with it!! i do wish we had more moments between the two mcs to see them connect even more, but overall, i enjoyed it & read it in one day!

i wish the interactions between characters had just been a little more realistic! i loved the sapphic representation but the final conflict of the novel felt so unnecessary and could have been resolved with a text.

I’m a slow reader at times, but this one had me hooked. Read it in two days, or rather, nights. 

Even though there are some dark/emotional themes within the book, I found myself able to to enjoy the frivolous flirting and humor around trying to make adult relationships. 

Really enjoyed this, Cade is totally relatable for person reasons. Oh, and Selena, ugh, what an absolute bombshell. Fell in love with them both instantly!!!
