I love good sexual tension. But the constant “Oh she’s so sexy- but wait no I can’t think that” was obnoxious. The ending was not satisfying.

this was so good!! esme&khai hold my entire heart istg. i put this off for so long because i tried to read my physical copy a few months ago and couldn't get past the prologue bc i was afraid the book would have me SOBBING - i am pleased to announce that it did not have me crying my eyes out, but there were definitely moments of tearing up. this was so wholesome, funny, and swoony. i wanted to just hug both esme and khai for their pasts, but i loved that they ended up together, because to me, they fit with each other perfectly. i do think the ending was a little rushed/didn't tie everything up for me, but overall, it was fantastic and i definitely recommend this series!!

This is my favorite book of the three in the series. It has fun main characters and an interesting dynamic between them.

What a delightful read. This book was filled with so much love and hope and I truly could not put it down. The characters are all so lovable, even the side characters. Heart wrenching in places, eye opening in others. Just wonderful!

A fun, forced proximity romance with great spectrum rep! Really enjoyed the narration from Emily Woo Zeller as well.
