3.5
This is 3.5 stars.
The sex positivity of the women in this book was perfect and the spicy scenes were great. The representation of Vietnamese and black southern culture was well balanced and taught me a lot. The underlying struggle of the MCs aside from the romance is the pressure of having to live up to the expectations of their parents. This aspect of the book was so well written and and relatable. I did enjoy reading this book and finished it in a day. I would definitely read a book about the other Boss Babes.
My issues with this book:
-The male MC, Andre, is so immature. His attitude towards sex isn’t consistent and his need to keep secrets from his sister is unnecessary.
- The ending felt really rushed…
