this isn't my type of book, but it was recommended to me for the "weird plot." i was expecting something more surreal or even sinister, but it turned out to be a story about a middle-aged divorced woman sleeping with her college-aged daughter's best friend. while that's a slightly complex premise, the story itself is not at all complex or gripping. this book clearly isn't for me, but i know someone out there would love it, so i gave it 2 stars

It's literally just sex, which i knew there was going to be in this book but god i didn't think it would literally start out with it! Plus i just don't like the two main characters. 

Tldr: if you want to read smut where there are no explanation's on the characters just go to wattpad or AO3 like a normal person.

This was a steamy, silly, heartfelt Sapphic romance that had a really great audiobook and some solid characters across the board. I didn't always like every character but they were never boring and there was never a dull moment plot-wise. It was dramatic and funny with a lot of heart at the center of it.

This book made me a little uncomfortable just because even as someone who will be 25 in a couple weeks, I wouldn't feel comfortable dating someone 21. It's just so young, and also I feel like
Erin abused her power at some points and was really mean to Cassie for absolutely no reason and even though Erin was the one who had power in situations
also I feel like there were too many spicy scenes.
