I really enjoyed the sex scenes, and there were a ton, but the rest of the plot was a little flimsy. The third act was silly and it didn't feel terribly 'resolved'. I don't know. We've got a friends to lovers situation with basically lifelong pining. Fear of sex changing things, fear of asking for what you want, losing yourself in the object of your affection. That last one in particular didn’t get enough time to resolve IMO. Ginny started a business, but I dont think Elsie would have told her not to. And while Elsie did pull her presentation together without Ginny, having her help could only have improved it, right? Maybe not. Maybe Elsie needed to do something on her own completely for a change. To believe what she wants matters. That forcing friendship bit hit a little close to home though.
