Situationship
by E.M. Wilson
Thank you Wattpad Webtoon Book Group for an e-ARC of Situationship by EM Wilson in exchange for an honest review!
This story follows two frenemies that decide to embark in a sex-only summer contract to ease their mutual stressors. They both run in the same wealthy social circles and have been “friends” since childhood. Teagan is hardheaded and strong willed in everything she does and Heath is a playboy with a soft spot for the people he cares about.
This book discusses tough themes involving racism, homophobia, and ED so read with caution. However, the author does a pretty good job at addressing the issues and using the scenes to move the plot and character development. I enjoyed the subplots beyond the situationship at hand and really enjoyed some of the side characters as well (mainly Levi and Heath’s mom).
While there was some character development for Teagan and Heath, it didn’t start showing until late in the book. By that point, it started feeling like a strung out slow-burn. Spending most of the book stuck in their heads and avoiding any real conversations about their feelings, the sudden transformation into soulmates just felt a bit forced and impractical. I also hope I never have to read a male main character refer to his genitalia as a “not-so-little guy” again. The phrase was used in nearly every spicy chapter in the MMC POV, and every single time, it gave me the worst ick.
Besides that, I really did enjoy this read and definitely recommend if you like slowburn, frenemies with benefits, secret relationship stories with a bit of cringey dialogue.
