Cute, fun, sexy, cozy. Nice and flowy writing, one that doesn't make you struggle to read and doesn't make the story cheap. I really enjoyed. Read in a single sitting (although that says more about the time and mental place I was in when I picked it). Mostly liked the main male characters, LOOUUVVVEEDDD Cyrus, Beth was also very well-carved out as a character. Really liked her as well.
What I did not like was the absolute lack of other female characters, atleast the lack of redeemable female characters. I don't know if the author has some personal grudge against hers or someone else's mother, but not a single mother in the book was redeemable. That's weird, right? Like atleast give me reasons why they were being such assholes. And ONLY the mothers, actually. Beth's, Seb's, Cyrus's, Cami's. Most other family members were okay-ish (atleast tolerable to an extent). But somehow, EACH AND EVERY mother wasn't a good mother.
Because of this the epilogue 'mother's day' scene didn't seem to have come full circle.
Anyway, it was cute. It was SMUTTY. The relationship wasn't made weird. It was nice, really. I enjoyed it. :)
