This is book 3 in this series but I’ve read them all out of order and I read this one 4th, but it’s my favorite so far!!! Not sure why but I felt very comfortable and familiar with the characters from the beginning, and I enjoyed that there was some plot external to their relationship that motivated their actions. Sloane’s dad and Sterling totally sucked from the beginning but I could have done with a little more nuance when it came to their behavior lol. This one definitely had the best spice in the series by far, so bonus 1/2 star for that. Automatic deductions for sooo many typos/errors and just a hint of cringe factor (stop using the word hella, pleaseeeee. It bothers me)
