I liked reading Caught Up, but my favorite parts were definitely when Aly & Josh showed up and the interactions between Ryan, Taylor, and Lauren. Nic is definitely not as lovable as a MMC as Josh. Still interested in reading any possible sequels in the series & would possibly read again!

It was fine. It didn't feel like a lot really happened. It felt more like it was setting up the next book, which I think will be about Tyler, Josh's roommate from Lights Out.

The book was very sex positive. Cam work and kink exploration were focus points. I liked how it was approached.

I went into it with low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Junior and Lauren were adorable together, and their chemistry really carried the story.

One small thing that threw me off at first was the use of they/them pronouns for one of Lauren’s roommates—it took a moment to figure out who was being referenced, but I caught on quickly.

The only thing that bothered me was the inconsistency with Walter, Lauren’s dog. Walter was introduced as a girl, but in the second half of the book, the narration started referring to her as “he,” which was a little distracting.
