I utterly enjoyed reading this book! 
First of all: the representation was soo good! I never read a book that had a character use they/them pronouns. I loved it. 
The three main characters had a great dynamic and I loved them together as well as everyone on their own. 
The plot would have still worked without spice (which I prefer) but the spice was of course a great bonus!
Don´t even get me started on the spice.. it was +chefs kiss+ 5 stars. Really well written. 
Overall I enjoyed the plot as well as the spicy scenes a lot and would definitely recommend the book to every spicy romance reader!
