I really enjoyed When in Rome and then did not enjoy any of Adams' earlier books so I wasn't sure how I would feel about this one. I didn't really like it early on, but it got better after reading over a 1/3 of the book. There was much less internalized (and actual) misogyny in this book than in her earlier books, although still just a little of "not like other girls" behavior. Will and Annie were fun and sweet, although this being a fade to black after all of the buildup to their sexual relationship felt strange, even though Adams doesn't write explicit work.
I will probably read Emily and Madison's books that I assume she is setting up with this one, but I hope her writing style, and her internalized misogyny, get better!
