You know that gif of the little crab running across the ocean floor going "nope nope nope nope"?
That's how I feel about this book.
The first 20% of this book has a plot. Is it messed up? Yup, but at least it's a story.
The next approximately 75% of this book is just straight up porn. Not even erotica - porn. Then in the last 5% of the book, it's like the author went "oh right, the plot!" So we have about 14 pages of a "wrap up" that has got to be one of the laziest endings to a book and sore excuse of a "cliffhanger" I've maybe ever seen.
Also not to yuck anyone's yum in what they like in sexy stories but there was lot of stuff in the spicy scenes that were very much not for me.

I think the author tried to make this quest to stop the wedding as noble as they could out of concern for Puck's friend but like it just didn't land that way. it all seemed really superficial rather than a genuine "I'm concerned for you".
for how forward thinking this book is, it certainly has major sensitivity blindness. inviting someone who is supposedly your best friend who is in recovery on a party bus where you suggest everyone play a drinking game is ultimate cringe.
that being said there are some really insightful parts to Puck's character and I liked the overall menace and Fool figure adaption from BillyShakes.

This book is f*cking unhinged.
Be prepared for a type of psychopathy that you never knew existed.
It's funny, it's self-aggrandizing, it's smart yet belittling, it's a parody of intersectionality, I think?
Honest to God what the hell did I just read.

this is a puzzling book. on the one hand I really love the relationship building between our two main characters. I feel like it goes so much deeper and it's less vain than like a typical book found within this trope. That's a really good thing. On the other hand, there are just certain parts of it that either don't make sense or just feel like a stretch. I think the writing could have used some actually publishing house editing/polishing. But certainly not a bad read.
