The beginning was a little repetitive but they are meeting every other Wednesday for sex in a hotel so there's only so much happening. The last chapters almost felt like a different book but maybe that's bc they aren't meeting in the hotel anymore. I went into this book with low expectations based on the cover (the cover feels like clip art for restaurant menus) and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I like that they fell like normal people. He's successful and wealthy but they discuss him being average looking and her clothing and thin hair are relatable. The story is very surface level. My only major gripe is her one sided love affair with John. It was more limerance and felt immature and cringy.
