If I’m being honest I didn’t care for this book that much. All the mentions of sex felt way too much like immature middle schoolers who just learned what sex was. The smut itself was okay, it read like something on Wattpad (derogatory). Plus the pregnancy trope ruined it for me.

Aaron got away with way too much. I don’t care what little drama with him was for the plot, he should have been put in his place; and even the ending for him wasn’t that good, he gets a transfer? That’s all?! He was so controlling, disgusting, and so creepy.

The other thing that bothered me was how lightly the eating disorder of the FMC was mentioned. She constantly struggled with food and it’s just lightly glossed over? Huh? How are you so pro therapy but continue to ignore most of your problems.

I really liked Nate and his friends, while getting flowers for his girlfriend he also got his friend some because he hadn’t ever gotten any before was such a wholesome moment. Nate’s character in general was really enjoyable.
