This is a book TikTok got me to buy and I was honestly disappointed. I was just really bored for 90% of the book. The world building was well done and creative but it just felt like a majority of the book focused on random daily activities and there wasn’t really much of a plot. However the last 15 pages were actually interesting but still over all I would not recommend this book.
This was not what I expected but it was really good. Main premiss is ladies man and buttoned up trust fund girl who never does anything wrong find themselves as roommates. I expected a trashy, funny, rom com but honestly this was so much more.
Josh and Claras dynamic was perfect. He helped bring her out of her shell, and she helped him see that he was worth more. Yeah that fact that he is in porn was a big part of the story, but not in the way I expected. Their relationship and character growth were at the forefront of the story and it was done insanely well. The main message of this story was taking charge of your life and happiness and not letting other expectations dictate it. Not to mention Josh was seriously so sweet, I loved them together, and who doesn’t love the “he catches feelings first” trope!
Honestly I wouldn’t even say this is a spicy/smutty book at all. It has some spice to it but not really all that much compared to a lot of other popular contemporary romance books that are popular right now. I would honestly say the porn star storyline was more of a subplot and not as much as a focus as one would expect. It turned in to a accepting who you are when society dismisses you. Sex should be an enjoyable thing and not something to be ashamed of. Women deserve an educational outlet for sex and it shouldn’t be stigmatized. And also that sex workers are taken advantage of and deserve respect.
Was super surprised by this book and loved it.

Edit: I went back and changed this to 5 stars. I have totally been gatekeeping my 5 star ratings and not giving them out but after going back and reading my favorite parts of this book it completely deserves 5 stars. For the romance, the character development, the writing, the humor, the way the author writes and discusses the heavy topics, just all of it was *chefs kiss.
This was so good. So cute and unique and just over all amazing writing. It deals with heavy topics but the author writes them so well I was speechless at times. So good, I highly recommend.

I honestly don’t really know how to rate this. This was the first thriller/suspense book I’ve ever read and I honestly hate scary movies and stuff like this. However, I’ve heard amazing things about this book so after owning it for a year I finally read it.
I could not put this book down. I read it in under 24 hours and honestly thought about it while I was at work. This book had me stressed out and had to know what happened next. After the first 200 pages all i could think was “wtf” constantly. Again, this was the first thriller I’ve ever read so I don’t have other to compare it to but I just kept thinking this was like the movie gone girl but more messed up.
I had a ton of different theories because things kept getting crazier and I just felt like there was no way this is that simple. She has to be building up to something and honestly at one point I started being suspicious of the 5 year old kid because of it. I did not expect the ending at all. Honestly this did have somewhat of a happy ending in the sense that it didn’t end up as messed up as I expected. Honestly I kind of felt like the ending fell flat even though I didn’t predict it. I just don’t know how to feel about it.
I don’t know how to feel. This book is crazy and half the time I just wanted it to end so I could know what the truth was but now that it’s over I don’t know what to think. From all the emotions I experienced and the fact that I couldn’t put it down earned this at least 3 stars. I think I enjoyed it but I can’t even tell anymore. I will have to try and read a few more thrillers to compare it to.

2.5. It was a cool idea but I was just so bored with it I had to force myself to finish. I bought this one because I thought it might get better but it just didn’t. Not a fan but the concept was cool. Wouldn’t recommend.
Eh. Maybe 2.5. I liked the idea but it just wasn’t that great. I found myself just trying to get through it so it would be over.
