Thank you to the author for allowing me to read this early!

This was a good book that I enjoyed in some parts, and didn’t enjoy in some other parts. However, it was mainly good! I will talk about what i liked first and foremost. 

Cora was such a badass. I loved her absolute no-fucks-given attitude and confidence. Her bluntness. Her overall domineering personality. And she was just FUNNY. Out of pocket laughing out loud funny and I ate it up!!!! 

The found family and friendships in this were also my favorite. The men’s GC messages and the women’s friendship was just so fun to read about. 

I loved how down bad both Cora and Everett were for each other. They were completely in lust, in love, obsessed, enamored, etc with each other and it was so fun to see. 

I’ve always been a fan of insta love but especially where it’s books where it’s not really insta love, but more like “I’ve always loved you and wanted to be with you but I missed my chance back then” etc and along those lines. 

Everett and Cora had only known each other through mutual friends (they’re best friends are together) and therefore are forced to hang out with one another every now and then. 

Their whole friend group was so funny. I liked seeing them all together. 

One thing that I thought was a bit off? In a way was a scene where Cora was drunk (Everett may have been as well). They don’t do anything per se, because Everett is aware that she’s drunk and not in the right mind.
However, I’m pretty sure he still ends up sticking his fingers inside of her?????? And while that’s not sex I suppose, I think that’s also not something to be doing to a person while they are drunk.
 

It just rubbed me the wrong way, idk. I may be overreacting but just something to note. 

Okay, I just went back and read it and she was begging for him to “fuck her” and he goes “Not when you’re drunk like this.” But still proceeds to give her an orgasm with his fingers inside her. ?????????
 

I have no definition of what fucking or sex is, but in my mind, that IS sex. 

AH! Erm. Yeah! 

Also, this is not to say that the sex scenes were bad. I personally loved them and thought they were REALLY spicy and hot and just everything. 

This is just personal preference, but I learned that
anal play and anything related to fingers or anything going inside assholes makes me super uncomfortable. I just start thinking about certain things and get disgusted, but definitely not a shit on the author.
 

I couldn’t take her calling him good boy serious after she started saying it A LOT. I just got icked out and thinking about DOGS. 😭😭😭😭 Genuinely, not a shit on the author just personal preference. 

Everything was so well written. I loved how much I laughed in this novel and while reading it. I loved how fast laces it was. I had a few issues with certain things, but overall, this was quite an enjoyable read and I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys spicy books with rich men politicians and camgirls.
