This is an extremely explicit book. Hate the colorful book cover.

3.0

So much secondhand embarrassment. A few very awkward situations meant to be funny, I guess. Plus the set up for failure where neither Huxley nor Lottie’s sister tell Lottie who the meeting is with, and then they get pissed when she doesn’t react exactly the way they want her to - seems like a cheap way to add drama. I usually like Meghan Quinn’s books, but this one missed the mark. 

Huxley has some serious problems if he doesn’t know how to be kind in such a basic way throughout the beginning of the book, and meeting a woman doesn’t make someone learn that stuff… I need to read a book about a cinnamon roll after this.
