people talk about their book boyfriends but i don't think anyone understands that Rhys Larsen is literally the book boyfriend. Like he knows exactly when to be funny, he's protective, he's brooding, he hates everyone but her. like he is literally the only man.
on a different note, the amount of different turns this book took?? like not one chapter went by where i wasn't wondering what happened next. the plot of this book was so wild in genuinely the best way.
all in all, i loved this book. it is definitely one of my top reads this year for sure.

It also doesn’t help that, the more I think about it, the more I realize that Bridget and Rhys have absolutely nothing to base a relationship on. All they ever do is screw around. Ana’s other couples have foundations upon which their relationships are built, but these two are just lust. Their story is just smut. Like if you took the vibes of Princess Diaries 2, combined with the vibes of Red White and Royal Blue, but replaced 90% of the plots with (rather repetitive) smut.
And damn, is it disappointing.
Extra half star for the first half, though, because it was fun while it lasted. And the teasing glimpses of future couples have made the rest (nearly) worth it.

I wouldn't read this book if you are looking for good plot twists, while it has some they don't last very long for you to infer what might happen. Overall I liked that characters and their relationship and I didn't like slow pace in the beginning/middle parts.
