I found this book to be weirdly forgettable, even while I was reading it.
The premise is weak, the characters were fine, the ~two sex scenes were good.
Going to continue the series, give the author another shot. Book was good but didn't blow me away or make me have many feelings.


Blake had a problem, it was dragged out how long before this problem was revealed, and when revealed I didn't feel like it had played a big enough role in affecting his life? Also, was it triggered by the death of that father figure? Or did he develop it then? Was that part of how he coped? Did I link his problem with that death or did Blake?

I liked the Maria trans rep! Maria seemed to be a great friend!
Tina was more relatable than Blake, though maybe that was just because she was maybe more interesting? I thought the 'reveal' that her whole personality of being responsible and careful was because her mother had once chastised her and Tina sort of discovers this repressed memory that she thinks it's her fault that her dad was taken away and they had to flee China... that was weak. Why couldn't Tina just naturally be responsible and different from her mother? I wanted a little more candid conversation between the two to resolve their differences/fight.

I liked Blake and Tina's relationship, but it also felt a little forced/all based on lust. I read the second half of this book in one sitting, trying to finish it up, but all the metaphorical talk about stars and being right/meant for each other... went over my head. I didn't get what they were trying to say to each other. Maybe it was lovely and I was just tired? Or instead of assuming the reader was an idiot the author didn't explain, but I had turned my brain off for the day?
