Overall, this was cute.
The character development was really fun to read as characters tore down their own walls and beliefs to develop and grow throughout the novel.
The love story itself was fun, it did seem a bit abrupt at the start but moving on it eased itself out into a flow that I could go with.
The open discussion of sex workers and the adult entertainment industry was something I don't normally come across in books but it was a discussion point that did lead to deeper thoughts on the industry standards and the stigma that there currently is.
Overall, it was quite a sweet book. I feel the ending could have been a bit more developed but in general was good and a nice read.
