"I told you I won't fuck you for revenge. The day you take my cock is the day you forget his name. When we fuck, Rush, the only name you'll remember is mine. Because you'll be screaming it."

Rush and Hunter totally did it for me. Two jilted exes teaming up to get revenge on the cheater? Falling in love in the process? Yeah, I’ll take 14 of ‘em right now.

First of all, the meet-awkward. And the way that Hunter took care of Rush even though he was his fiancés side piece, and said fiancé literally threw him out into the cold. AND THEN finding out they work together. AND THEN Rush doing everything in his power to keep Hunter from quitting. AND THEN coparenting P-L-Ant the butt plug Lithops. AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN—the revenge fake kiss turned revenge real kiss turned cutest non-toxic relationship.

I also adored the ADHD representation. Reading Rush’s POV was literally like having a conversation with my brother. It’s a language you definitely have to adapt to for loved ones, and I just really appreciated the honesty of it. It’s not always just “oops I forgot my phone haha” it can be super debilitating and the pressure to take meds is crazy.

I really love when there are goofy texts/emails in books. Like it just does it for me every single time. If there are scenes with those kinds of conversations, like 9 times out of 10 the book is 4+ stars for me.

I just really enjoyed the pacing and the banter and the organic progression of Hunter and Rush’s relationship. I loved that they got their revenge on Ian without it being about them being fake boyfriends. And I fucking screamed at the actual reveal:

“‘How the fuck would you know?’

‘Because he's my boyfriend, asshole.’

‘He's what?’"

Ah, The poetic justice of it all.
