fast-paced

5.0

This was a reading I never know I needed.
“It’s love under no conditions”.

Ozzy is the sweetest yet a bit broken guy that you didn’t know you wanted.  

This was the perfect reading which made me feel : 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠 most of the time.
Even if some heavy subjects are discussed (TW rape / emotional abuse). It’s also a healing journey.

Trust fund James (now forced to join the working class since daddy cut her funds off) falls for a hot line cook, Ozzy. I liked how their relationship developed. Not a lot of angst or “should we or shouldn’t we.”  Made it less drama and more sweet. Some smut and consensual kinks between mains. Mention of SA but resolved.

In short: James wants to be an artist but her unsupportive rich parents said no, so she moved out. Needing money she gets a serving job at Orzo. Her and the hot line cook Ozzy hit it off and that’s when the heat cranks up!

4.5

I'm obsessed with Ozzy and James. The tension between them so hot. I loved their flirting and the lingering looks between them. The build up to them hooking up had me unable to put this book down.

I will however say this book seemed more like a Jeremy Allen White The Bear/Shameless fanfic OF COURSE I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH THAT but it's just a warning incase that's something that bothers you. 

There's definitely trigger topics in the front of the book you should check out before diving into this book. 

The only reason it's a 4.5 instead of a 5 for me is because the ending was so rushed.. it easily could have been another 100-200 pages and I would have read every single word.
