I was really disappointed by this book. I heard so many good things about it from booktok. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to “yuck” somebody’s “yum”, but it just wasn’t very good. It seems like Sawyer and Enzo were kind of forced together at first. There’s not much of a build. They just kind of find each other and are instantly having sex. The spice isn’t necessarily bad, as a matter of fact, I thought it was really good until it’s contextualized. It’s almost like CNC without the C part. Towards the end it got a bit more interesting but it only lasted a little while before falling short again.
