I came across this book initially on Booktok and while I t didn’t meet the expectations I had, it was still an enjoyable book. 

Both Chloe and Red were interesting characters, both with their own pasts that were uncovered throughout the story. I loved the awareness around fibromyalgia as although I don’t personally suffer with it, I know many do. Chloe and Red’s relationship was balanced nicely between sweet/romantic and passionate/lustful. I loved all their interactions, especially in the first half of the book. Although I could relate to each of them in certain ways, I didn’t feel like I fully connected to them as individuals (both had moments of annoying me) which meant I couldn’t always fully connect with them as a couple either. It felt like something was missing for me.

I liked the idea of the plot and think it was executed well, although I did find it quite slow in places and took me a while to get into the story. There was definitely a bit more spice than I anticipated (I’m definitely not complaining), but the odds few lines had me cringing slightly. 

Overall, I liked this book and will be going on to read both Dani and Eve’s stories.
