4.0

After seeing this kind of explode all over Bookstagram, I was excited to see it come up on Netgalley and had to get it.

A queer, sex work positive, body positive, reworking of the Pretty Woman story, fake boyfriends with a hell of a lot spice. A fast paced, punchy read. It hit the mark with the romance/spice aspects but had legitimately powerful positive messages about trust, sex positivity, pride, and shame. 

Teddy and Cole are fun, lovable characters. Nuanced and real. And, their support systems are a shining light in their lives. 

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a free electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
