A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy, Sierra Simone

Bee and Nolan.
This was going to be a five star read for me but I think Nolan's fuck up and apology was rushed through far too quickly. He fucked up big time. Like Big Time.
Overall it's good - a very diverse and queer cast, the sex was amazing, the concept hilarious, the stakes definitely high enough. I feel in contemporary novels that the stakes for the drama are never that high but they definitely are in this book! Nolan needs a regular check and healthcare for his mentally unwell mother - who he loves and never shames and has good supports in place but damn the USA health are system is BROKEN. And Bee definitely wants to have a longer career than porn can give her. Her stakes aren't as high as Nolan's but they feel real regardless.
I wish that Bee hadn't fully pulled back from porn in the epilogue. Maybe something about working with her friend Jack would have worked for me better than a full pull back.
