THIS WAS SO CUTE. I stayed up all night to marathon this and I regret nothing. Michelle and Gabe’s chemistry is off the charts, and I adored their banter. Also, that fanfic they wrote as teens? 10/10, would read if it was an actual book.

I love Michelle, Jasmine and Ava. Their dynamic gives me similar vibes to that of Chloe, Dani and Eve in the Brown sisters books, a.k.a. some of my absolute favorite romances. After this book, I can say Alexis Daria is one of my favorite romance writers, and the Primas of Power one of my favorite romance series. I don’t know when Ava’s book is coming out, but I’M SO EXCITED FOR IT.

So yeah, this book was exactly what I needed. We can always count on romance books for serotonin, and this gave me plenty of that. 💛

I absolutely noticed that casual lil tease in the epilogue, where Gabe referred to Ashton as Jasmine’s fiancé. To that I say, WHERE ARE MY DETAILS??? I would’ve liked to see a bit more of them in this book because I live for couple cameos, but if we get a wedding in the next book, I’ll be happy. Scratch that, I’ll be over the damn moon. Please, Alexis Daria. P L E A S E. 🙏🏻
