For the first time in my life, I let loose. It's not a guilty pleasure. If you like it, you like it. What is there to be so embarrassed about?

The story follows the relationship between a high school graduate and her best friend's Mom.
Believable, sexy, feel-good. I deserve such breaks after breaking my head over Dostoevsky and Tolkien.

This as you know/would expect is not great work of literature. I don't presume the author intended it to be. It's refreshing to the read a healthy romance especially in a taboo setting - like everything is okay here, it's perfect; if you can ignore one tiny, small detail. This couple works so well, and the author created their interactions so in sync that nothing feels forced. It flows. And the steamy segments are well, very steamy... visceral. I don't have much to compare, but it was very hot.

All feminist propaganda requirements fulfilled. I have nothing against the feminist ideology, but at times I feel they push little too much. Like this.

I cringe when people use the term ‘best friend', especially people in their 20s. Grow up already; or maybe, I'm just lonely. I guess it will be hard to get around that if I'm considering reading more of this.
‘Hey, I'm your best friend. I love you, you know that, right?
I hate you
no you don't
yeah i dont.


Hate this.
Less talk. Do more.

There is not much of story in here, other than these two hotties navigating their relationship. I'm gonna go find similar books with a little more plot to it and a little less teenage drama.
