I really enjoyed this friends-to-lovers reverse harem!!
This book follows our main girl Layla, who thinks she sucks at dating. Luckily for her, she has 3 neighbors who run a podcast giving relationship advice despite being single. We have Zack, Josh, and Luke and they all eventually decide to fake date Layla to help her with her dating experience and to add a new element to their podcast.
I do feel like there was an unequal balance of POVs in the beginning, which made sense because of where all the men stood with this experiment but I still would've wanted to know how they were feeling throughout the book. While all the guys were so different from each other in personality, they still all had an attraction to Layla which made the relationship flow!
Both Layla and all the guys had pasts that haunted them but they never spoke a lot about it. I wish we had more conversations about their feelings throughout the book since they all originally started as friends. There was a lot to talk about, but I feel like most of that just got dumped at the end.
I loved the relationships formed and the conversations had. I just wanted more conversations throughout the book instead of a big dump. I loved the spice and their overall bonds together both when Layla was with all the guys and when Layla was with them individually.
