“You need to quit that job” line is what got me!! I really enjoyed the character development of these two characters, nothing about this entire series felt rushed or incomplete. I loved that we got to see each of the characters have fully fleshed out character growth and plot lines.

Alexandria House had me completely hooked from the first page with this one, Set is everything and more. The way he is ride or die for Kareema is just to die for, not to mention the smut in this book my god I have never had so many different facial expressions while reading a book!! If you pick up one novella please let it be this one you will be hooked on this book/series.

I’ve never laughed out loud over a book so much! This books is just sooo much fun. If you love reality tv shows like love island, married at first sight etc but make it sapphic you will devour this book. I was hooked on this book from start to finish, the writing just pulls you into the story and is as if you are friends with these characters and watching them go through this process.

What really stands out in this story was how not only consent was tackled but how coming out was handled in such a beautiful manner, there’s just so much to love about this book.
