I read this because I kept getting bookstagram recommendations for it. I kept seeing it in random places, and even saw some friends think it was okay at least.

I don’t think this genre is for me. This is the closest to intentionally DNFing a book I ever got.

I powered through this mostly because I wanted to get it over with. I had bought this on an audible sale and I’m glad I didn’t spend more on it but also wanted to get my moneys worth.

Some spicy scenes were good some were odd but I just did not like the main character and found some of the details included to be a bit bizarre.
Like…why does her not liking to wear a bra or underwear keep coming up? I rolled my eyes so many times. It also felt like the lust ramped up super fast for no raisin. Overuse of pebble as a verb too. If I never hear about nipples pebbling it will be too soon.

Also this school makes no sense at all. It’s a college but you’re not allowed to leave campus during the semester? You have to get permission to make a phone call? Bells to signal class time ending? It read more high school than community college which was weird to me. Also basically a school sanctioned orgy ball? What the Helly R. 

Never found out what happened to Ajax’s ex girlfriend either.


The twist at the end was interesting but again at that point I just wanted my suffering to end.
