I really loved this story. The characters were fun, and the plot was easy to follow. However, I did have a major issue with this book.
  TW: RAPE
Daphne literally rapes Simon. They try to play it off as if he also wanted what was happening since he vocally encouraged her. However, literally moments before, he had been passed out drunk. He could not consent in the moment and had specifically stated that he did not want to have even the slightest chance of getting her pregnant. The entire thing ruined the book for me.
