This is easily the hottest installment in the Uptown Girls series and WHEW. The spice is nice. This is a revenge plot, which we know from the very beginning. This is ultimately our primary conflict between Clay, our male main character, and Florence, our female main character, and if anything Joanna Shupe had me *too* convinced of the conflict to buy the resolution. There is a lot that I absolutely loved - a non virginal FMC who is very clearly disinterested in marriage or children and will sacrifice nothing for her career aspirations, some excellently played jealousy and intrigue, and a man absolutely leveled by his partner. I just wish the class difference felt more addressed.
