My days of having the blues over a man were long gone. These days, I sang love songs at the top of my lungs because I felt every word, and it was all because of him.
— Epilogue, p. 275

rhythm and channing were so fucking cute!! i love how pure their love became after it developed from their lust at first sight.

there isn’t really a plot and the smut felt like filler but i did generally like the characters and their antics throughout. a quick and easy read.

what i wasn’t a big fan of was the nonstop slut-shaming and calling women “females”, “bitches”, and “whores” every other page. it got exhausting to read. also, as much as i liked rhythm, i wasn’t a big fan of her for a big chunk of the story (about 30% of the beginning) with her being a doorstop and refusing to stand up to that pathetic excuse of a unfaithful man she was with at first!! but once she actually got clarity and realized she deserved better, i kept rooting for her!!!
