2.0

I didn't enjoy this book as much as I've enjoyed Lauren Blakely's other books. This was my first MFM, and to be honest, I had to look up what MFM meant. Basically, it's about a throuple consisting of two men and a woman. It wasn't a situation that I was particularly interested in, which is why the star rating for me is a 2.0 - it's ok, but not really my jam. While I typically enjoy the author's writing, I felt that this story lacked a good plot line and was basically a foil for a series of explicit sex scenes, which were very detailed. In the end of the book, it very quickly glossed over them "coming out" to their family, friends, and the general public, and I felt that this could have been explored better. The gist was that friends and family were immediately accepting; as for the public/media, there will always be trolls and people who disagree but they just ignored any negativity. I think the relationship between the guys and jealousies could have been explored more than just "both of us want to share her," but again, I feel that this was just a tool for explicit scenes vs. a real investigation of the relationship dynamics.
