This one gripped me about 30% in. It was a lot of fun and very approachable. The world building was a little hollow but the plot was very well woven. It’s diverse, but sometimes the diversity feels a little forced. One side character is deaf and the main character signs with her. However, the deaf character is part of a group that values keeping a stoic face and she isn’t able to be very expressive. Most sign languages use facial cues very heavily so it felt a little like it was just thrown in there with little thought. It could have been an interesting thing to explore briefly, but was overlooked. 

So world-related plot holes aside, it’s well worth the read. And it’s very much my jam. (The sexual scenes were probably the best written smut I’ve read in a long time. Well done.)

This is a very biased review for me, there are probably plenty of points that could be criticized in this book. However, it is just so indulgent. It's got great pacing. The characters a fun and there is some great chemistry between them, that's not too tense and just easy to enjoy.

This book found me at exactly the right time and in exactly the right mood to just absolutely love every page.
