Review

This book really surprised me.

Told by both Jay and Eliza it seemed a simple ‘friends to lovers’ story. But that is not the case at all. There are multiple stories woven together across the intoxicating worlds of fashion, PR and technology. I was gripped.

This is not just a loose plot with a lot of sex, but a proper story with drama, suspense and sex. There are plenty of twists and turns and although a few are predictable it does still manage to surprise and delight. The writing flows easily and I read it in one sitting.

Parts of it are slightly unrealistic, but I don’t think many people want to read about disappointing or average sex! This book would have been compelling even without the sex, but having these as well made it even more enjoyable.

James writes convincingly about business, drawing from her own experiences (although I admit that I was slightly jealous of the characters being so successful in their 20s) and all the sex scenes are hot and steamy.

I look forward to reading her other books and watching her writing develop with interest!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
