I wanted to love this book so much, but it fell a bit flat for me.

I did love the crazy premise and I loved the way the book was separated into five parts, five dares – with each section going over that dare.

However- with the premise and the dares, the book showed us so much of the the physical/sexual side of their relationship and not nearly enough emotional side. I guess since they had been friends for so long, we are supposed to assume the emotional side is already there. The book also relied a lot on flashbacks, which- to be honest I am just not a fan of.

The last 20% of the book was so good and delivered everything that had been lacking in the rest of the book – I wish the whole book had that same energy. And if I’m being honest, I’m still not sure if the ending is sweet or weird since it was so abrupt.

Lau ♡ I felt the same way about the ending. I loved that we finally saw them like that, but at the same time it felt rushed 🤔

Right, it was so rushed! It was sweet but at the same time just too abrupt I didn't love it

I hope you enjoy this when you try it! I seem to be in the minority most of the other reviews are very high, so I hope you will like it too! :)

Rain Isn’t it so frustrating when the last 20% is what you wanted from the entire story!??

Yes it is! I did enjoy most of the book but it just had such an emphasis on the physical relationship, the end finally gave me the emotional side I wanted!
