So so so cute!!!! I loved this! There was actually a lot more nuance to it than I expected. Pacing was really good. Writing was smooth and easy! Only hang up was that it was incredibly obvious what the resolution was nearly from the first quarter. Characters seemed more intelligent than that. It was played off well though. 

You could see the set up for the next one coming a bit in the last quarter but it felt fluid!

I did gobble but I’m trying to be more generally accurate with my book ratings. I enjoyed but it wasn’t life changing. 

There was a lot of sex references. Like do people actually talk about sex that often in their every day conversations???

This was kind of chaotic and all over the place. Characters change their minds on a dime and are often kind of nonsensical. Ending was pretty dumb and felt rushed and too easy.

This one wasn’t as good as the others. I also think I’m going to end it here. I know there are more books but it feels complete at this point
