This was a good book but I think it’s time for me to accept that reading books with romance as it’s central theme might just not be for me. I always seem to find a lot of the things cringy and annoying and I think it wasn’t that different with this book too.

I really liked Cherisse and her personality. She was actually really cool. I also loved that she was a baker and the whole Sugar queen thing worked really well for her. I would have enjoyed it more if we saw more interactions with other people outside her circle of friends and Keiran. I mean everyone kept saying she’s so nice and sweet but Keiran seemed to not think so and he wasn’t actually completely proved wrong. All we got to see was how nice she was within her circle and nothing more. Plus she really didn’t like him and he always got on her nerves so it was justified. But I would have loved to see how he slowly saw that he was wrong about her because it all felt so rushed while the book was anything but. 

Then when it came to Keiran, he felt a bit too shallow for me. I mean he seemed nice and he also seemed to have fallen way harder than she had but I felt like we saw less of him. Maybe it’s because we got her POV’s way more than his but I felt he needed more character building. I also really wished we got to see her reaction to the song they worked on together because that was one of my favourite part of the book. 

I think the book was spot on and also very realistic in so many ways. I mean Kieran kept doing stupid shit in public and that just worked well with his gender and the whole entertainment industry thing. I also really liked that for her it was mainly physical attraction while for him it was way more than that because, that’s very realistic for many people but these type of books seem to force an emotional connection when it doesn’t always start as so for most. So it was really nice to see that this was different and that it ended with her moving towards forming that emotional connection with him as opposed already being in love. I’d actually read a second book if it was focused on them because I really liked them together and would love to see how they grow.
