Fiona is a certified badass who needs a bit of therapy and is madly in love with her husband, but yet life as a mom is exhausting. I truly feel this on a deep level, except...ya know...I'm not a ninja.

Okay, no one warned me that this book ends on a cliffhanger.... so here's your warning. I'm screaming and my body is full of goosebumps and I'm sweating. But this book is FULL of longing and angst and emotion and omg, I can't type anything else because I have to immediately go buy the next in the series and start right now.

I don't even have words right now. I literally told my family I couldn't process anything they were trying to say to me because I needed a moment to process this book and grieve the fact that it was over. I spent the entire night just sitting in my head with this book and these characters. I don't know how I'm supposed to move on to another book right now. Nothing will be good enough and I don't think I have the emotional bandwidth to dive into another angsty amazing book. God, Kennedy Ryan is a damn queen.

I am zero percent the target audience for this book, but I found it very interesting and well done. It is so smart the way Slay uses culture and history to advance the game.

This book was just delightful. It was a different setting than I'm used to reading about and it touched on grief but not in an overwhelmingly sad way. Just in a way that acknowledges people are out there just living with grief as a part of daily life and it doesn't go away. I forgot how nice it is to sometimes just read something that is bantery and a bit fluffy but also can really touch on something important. It can be hard to find a book that accomplishes all of that while adding in spice. This book gets the job done well.

I can't put my finger on why, but these characters gave me the ick somehow. I finished the book, but I feel like I could have stopped and not cared about how it finished. I just never felt invested with these two.

I love that I now live in a world that allows books like this to exist. I wish I had something like this to read when I was in high school. I love the exploration of self and the journey this book gave. I do wish there was slightly less emphasis on underage drinking. I think we should be able to have these conversations and explorations without the need for alcohol. But, nevertheless, I'm glad this book exists.

The rating is not actually the book's fault. I didn't read anything about the book because I was just told to read it, but its definitely more erotica than romance. I need a lot more plot and character development to really enjoy it.

There's excellent representation in this book and the spicy scenes were

This is so beautiful and real. I love the way Kennedy Ryan writes. I've been bingeing her work and nothing has let me down yet.

This one is not as spicy as some of her others, but it definitely has some heat in there.
