This book had a nice flow and was overall a great read! Around the 3/4 mark, it felt like it was dragging a bit, but it quickly picked up, making that lull almost unnoticeable. 
 
I really ended up liking Shane. He was such a nice guy—genuine and sincere. I was a bit unsure about Diana at first and worried she might be "too much," but she turned out to be a perfectly balanced character. I also loved how Diana does acknowledge that she did judge him as a fuckboy. 
 
Elle Kennedy did a great job writing about domestic abuse. Diana's thought patterns felt incredibly realistic, reflecting what many people who have experienced abuse might go through. 
 
I love the HOA meetings! They are my greatest pleasure! Diana removing Shane from the group chat was also my greatest entertainment! 
 
P.S. Romance authors, let’s be realistic—a 9-inch and 10-inch dick is pushing it!
