I wasn't going to write a review for this but I kinda want to reiterate what I saw in other reviews.
-CW/TW, I just read this and can't remember where the sexual assault scene is but I did mark that as a CW in storygraph but it was missing from the author's list as well as a very graphic self-harm scene early in the book so WTF is with that? Later in the book, another character - Ace - also mentions self-harming tendencies so that definitely should have been a CW
-the spice is mid, honestly there are maybe 4 scenes...bus, bathroom, pool table, garage. A few that are hinted at so closed door. I guess I was expecting more given Candy's description of herself and her libido even know that usually in a series it takes awhile to build up to group scenes.
-this one is silly, but I couldn't tell which characters where British and which weren't. Some it was clear but others said kind of British things like "to hospital" instead of "to the hospital" and it just bugged me cause I couldn't tell
-it was fun until it wasn't, I didn't DNF but thought about it a few times. I won't continue the series.
-the twist wasn't really a twist because it made absolutely no sense to have a Jack POV. That's writing yourself into a corner, especially with the other POV later in the book which is different so the two voices are not the same.
Things like plot holes or nonsense get easier to by pass if there are other things to balance it out - like engaging characters or a compelling narrative or spicy spice scenes - but overall, this story lacked that. Also, I'm not opposed to books being inspired by characters or even straight-up fan fiction (I read and loved Lovesick Gods and didn't realize until after that it was The Flash) but in the beginning third of the book Candy is just Harley Quinn and it gets annoying really fast.

TW provided by author: expected excessive amounts of steam, violence and cursing throughout.
