I really enjoyed the story of finding love where you don’t expect it, friends who are there for you no matter what, toxic people getting their comeuppance, and that while having a team/partner beside you is great you can also do things solo and be okay. 

That being said, I found this book to be too sexy? Like there was so much sex it was eventually just background noise. Definitely not an audiobook to listen to with the kids around, but by about half way I could have skipped through the sex scenes and still enjoyed the book. 

All sex aside, I loved the communication between all the characters (friendship and romantic relations) and the amount of times Nate and Stas mentioned therapy and how beneficial it was.

Questo libro mi è piaciuto molto soprattutto perché contiene una relazione non tossica e personaggi a cui ti affezioni subito!

Uniche pecche secondo me sono le troppe scene spicy e l’epilogo che era evitabile, anche se solitamente quel trope mi piace qui non era necessario.

Ho letto i capitoli bonus sul sito dell’autrice e sono molto carini.

Non vedo l’ora di leggere gli altri libri della serie. So che usciranno quelli su Russ e Harry 🥰 Sarebbe bello averne uno anche su JJ!

Light hearted and some great "scenes". Mostly a good couple but I had some issues. Likeable characters. Did not like the end, I wish the second last chapter is where the book had ended. Nice start to the year.

Very relaxing and easily read. The real highlight is the cast of characters you get to read about. The only lull was around 70% of the way through during the Christmas part.
