This was better than the first one but the sex was so unrealistic and so were a lot of the inner character thoughts. I’ll try to read the third one because I’m invested but these aren’t well-written books and that’s ok!

This book was disappointing, mainly because the main characters had no actual connection! What do you mean the fake dating lasts for only a few chapters? Make us yearn and suffer! Also, we are barely shown their personalities since the author clutches to one aspect about each of them to focus on and runs with that. She also does that with the side characters, which makes it for a flat read. I enjoyed the plot if it weren't for the end pass (y'all know which one I'm taking about).
