I absolutely loved this book. The beginning had me crying. It was so easy to imagine and relate to Mary’s trauma with Leo. I love that Leo falls for her again blindly. He worships her, and I appreciate that she doesn’t get fat shamed (except from herself) by Leo or even her bullies. I imagines once they came out as a couple his fans would have far shamed her, but Kandi made it normal. Which is it, and I appreciate that. Mary is hot! And Leo is such a golden retriever, I love them together. Compared to Zeke, Clay, and Holden, Leo knows how to please a woman. The only thing I didn’t like about this story was that Leo bit/sucked on his necklaces. It reminded me of Courtney Wheeler from Bob’s Burgers haha, and I could imagine it as sexy no matter how hard I tried. Other than that have been loving this series and would recommend to anyone. Clay and Leo are my ultimate book boyfriends 🙌🏻
