Finally read this book whole! I'd say it was THIRSTY AF, except these girls drank. Oh how they drank.

There were like five (5) scenes of Very Explicit Smut that starts happening early in the story and it was

This book was interesting because the location was a majority in one place with only a few scenes in other places. Maybe that’s why it felt flat- like more of the world was missing (or maybe not- some office romances are majority in one setting). I felt like I wanted more depth. Maybe because Sophie had no friends and there wasn’t much interaction with Amy’s? I did really like Sophie’s coming out and the way her feelings were described- my favorite parts of the book were her gaining confidence in being herself. But the book overall was just a bit “meh” for me.

Dnf it only 90 pages left. Was extremely bored and the main characters aggravated the hell out of me. Also the main characters relationship is purely physical, they had no chemistry outside of that.
