I thought the concept of the book was really interesting, but I didn’t always love the execution. The sex scenes were enjoyable enough at first, but I think the author added one too many or just didn’t know how to keep them interesting because by the end I was BORED of reading it. One character felt pretty cartoonish and one-sided, which was disappointing because I expected this particular character to be more complex. Not enough happened either, like most of the plans that the main characters had didn’t even come to fruition, or they just did really small things that were supposed to be funny but weren’t tbh and didn’t add anything to the story. And I wish the love interest had more personality aside from just being “sweet.”

But I did really love Delilah’s character. I ended up really appreciating her relationship with Astrid and how it was handled, though I think the two of them should’ve had more pages together. I like how all of Delilah’s, Astrid’s, and Claire’s insecurities came together and played off of each other to add more conflict to the story. And I liked Iris’s boyfriend lol, he was funny
