My fave parts of the book were about Ilmari, Jake, Caleb, and Rachel. The whole 'metaphor' scene had me in stitches. Love that quadruple. I wasn't super engrossed in the story of Tess and Ryan, and the whole part with her ex was just upsetting. But still a solid book. I'll gladly read anything else Emily Rath writes!

Emily wrote another winner! Tess and Ryan are so cute its painful. Ryan is the perfect golden retriever boyfriend from the blonde hair to the attitude. Tess is a mess but she knows it and improves through the whole book. I appreciate that this book incorporated Pucking Arounds "fearsome foursome" as it added context and made the book more interesting. I will say that even though there was never truly a miscommunication argument there might have well have been. Tess was constantly pulling away citing how messed up and damaged she was (she definitely needed/needs serious therapy after the whole ordeal) and it became tiresome after the third time it happened. Its hard not to get repetitive when a book is 600+ pages.

I liked the exploration of different types of sex with consent, overcoming an abusive relationship, and diversity through a learning difference and with a plus size woman as the FMC. On the other hand, parts of it were not super memorable and I struggled to finish this as fast as I did with Pucking Around. I wish Tess and Rachel’s relationship was a bigger part of the story, too. Finally, in terms of the series as a whole while there is great diversity in terms of bodies, learning differences, and sexuality, I wish there was more racial, ethnic, and gender diversity. That said, I appreciate how Emily Rath has helped to pave the way for books about queer relationships and people to become more mainstream.
