Wow, a lot sure can happen to a gal in 5 months!
Are there some problematic elements in this story? Yes. Was it enjoyable? Hell yes!
This was such a fun take on a RH MMFM relationship, but oh yeah...what mess. While it is a loooong book that could have easily trimmed ~300 pages without losing anything from the (lack of) plot, I never felt the need to skim. It is a very easy read and, for the most part, well-written.
Each character is fun, but they all read college-age NA to me rather than their actual 27-30 y.o (with the exception of maybe Ilmari). There were a number of times I had to eye roll over some of their choices or actions, but again, it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment of the book.
All-in-all, it's a low angst, high steam, insta-love, sex fest of a book!
