An easy smutty romance novel. I first heard about this on The Nod (a podcast about black american culture), because this book uniquely stars a black heroine, and touches a little bit on race.

It was enjoyable and nothing made me cringe, really. I was intrigued by how many donuts she and Drew ate...I can't do that and I'm only 26!

This is a quick read, perfect for someone who wants to read a fast and easy romance. It’s a “spicy” book but mostly fade to black, so if that’s not something you’re into keep that in mind.

It’s like cheesy romcom meets hallmark movie

I did find it to be a predictable plot, one thing I wish that it did was show rather than tell the story, I felt like the author explained too much rather than showed the emotions of the characters, so it’s not a book that I fell in love with BUT it’s a good book for filling the time and entertaining you.

This was a pretty 'middle of the road' read for me.

I didn't like early on, just after the meet cute, when Alexa's sister was calling her a prude and the anti-risk kid. I wondered how much that had to do with Alexa's actions? It's never brought up again.

My biggest problem was that I never felt like there was really good conflict between the two main characters, other than the fact that they inconveniently lived in separate cities and he didn't think he wanted a relationship...
Additionally, I felt like the like drama/ turning point that happened in the third act was actually Alexa being presumptive that Drew was going to break up with her, so she went ahead and initiated a fight that caused them to break up before he could do anything.
And his solution for his grand gesture is to show up at her city council event? Meh. I don't remember them really having a big apology session either...
One thing I did like was that we had an opportunity to see them gradually each other but also it was like they insta-hit it off?

For me, the book was good but underwhelming.
