2.7⭐️s rounded up to 3. Not the best, not the worst.

The fl annoyed me a lot, I guess I just wasn’t a fan of her character. She flip-flops a lot, in really dumb ways… like how in the beginning she is very much anti-relationship and immediately flips to being all in it with Archie after just one night of sex and a funny feeling she got. She also accepts the guys as her mates pretty quickly for a woman who did not want a relationship at all. She likes being controlled, but then she doesn’t. Just lots of back-and-forth.

The men do feel pretty distinct, I can appreciate that. My only issue with them is that they pair off and make their own dynamics that sort of clash with the entire group, it really makes an “us vs. them” type of scenario which causes problems. I don’t mind them having relationships with each other, I just don’t like the group infighting and what feels like teams.

The drama outside of the relationship was interesting. I would’ve liked to see more of that. The relationship issues were… mostly the fault of the fl. Another reason I didn’t really like her character. The boys have their issues, of course, but I feel like if they had a stronger and more considerate “center”, there would be less issues. Lots of sex where there should’ve been communication. I feel like none of them actually know anything about each other.

I could’ve been convinced to read the second book, but I can’t find it anywhere. Oh well.
