I feel like I also hate this overwhelming plot of she's 20 and a virgin...like it's okay if she's not...because obvi, he's not...can we get a not gross plot line of her being shy and bashful in the bedroom...because female sexuality is actually really cool.
BUT THIS BOOK IS SOOOO GOOD. The FMC and MMC are both amazing...can they just be like experienced mid-twenties, so spice isn't weird at first!?!

During this re-read, I think it's losing a star for me just based on how low key needy Loren is. I get she's human, and I don't hate her as a FMC, but she clings to Darien so fast and it comes off icky. Otherwise, I love the plot. And Darien.

Re-read because I never finished book 3 and therefore didn't get to book 4...and I don't remember shit except that I like Loren and I LOVE Darien. 🤤🤣
