This book just kept going and going and going. It could’ve ended at the halfway point instead of dragging on.

Pacing was very slow and the spice made it unbearable at times; it wasn’t part of the plot and ended up skipping around 3/4 scenes as they just didn’t add to anything.

For what this is, it’s pretty goo. The story and characters were palatable. If you’re in the right mood and like hocked romance, it’s great.

I started off hesitantly as I wasn't immediately gone on the narrators, but they grew on me. I loved Bailey and Chase as characters and   think their connection was so strong for such young people. While it was a romance, I liked that it touched on topics such a
abusive relationships, consent and sex tapes
. I think the book was too long, though, a d hit a slump a bit after halfway. Also, I wonder if the characters are realistic for their age? Yes, they do dumb shit, but they are also much more mature than most 21-year-olds I know. Anywho, I loved the characters, the romance and the sex. Loved how Chase was patient and built Bailey up
