The concept of this book is so fun and slutty but the execution gave me the ick at times. How are you going to write a book about a pornstar convention and then have the main character lowkey (but basically highkey) hate sex workers subconsciously? It felt very wrong to me and therefore pick me energy. All of the other characters were fine but Kat. She has a gay best friend and also partook in sex with her bi best friend and yet somehow kinda homophobic comments too??? I'm still so lost on this...

In typical MZ fashion it is a slow burn friends to lovers which I liked but had a huge problem with the fmc so overall ruined :/
