Rather, it was more like a questionnaire that you fill out for your doctor. In my opinion, that does not make this an embarrassing kinky sex quiz (which was how the book was marketed). Even more frustrating was that the FMC skipped 2 of the questions because she's too ~shy~ and embarrassed, so we have even less content to work with. Then, of those 4 questions, 2 of them are basic questions about her sexual history (I think they're literally like 'are you a virgin?' and 'how many people have you had sex with?'). She overall seemed kind of stupid, judgmental of her friends/sister, and always the victim in need of Maverick to protect her.īesides the FMC, my one major complaint about the book is that the entire premise is that Maverick sees her answers on a sex quiz that she was filling out for her girls' night out, but the sex quiz itself is 4 questions. She also seemed to think everyone else is slutty except her, and she just kept thinking about how much of a victim she is and how she's ~not like other girls~(not in those words, but you get it.gag me). She was a little too 'I'm so shy and nerdy, and I don't realize I'm beautiful because I'm such a nerd!' if ya know what I mean. The female main character was not my favorite. Unfortunately, the couple was super insta-love, which is not my favorite trope, and they were both about to cum in their pants (literally) just after making eye contact the first time they met in a coffee shop. Maverick is extremely possessive and protective, which I really liked it worked for him. In terms of the book, the spice was good, and I liked the male main character, Maverick. I feel like I see a lot of fairytale retellings, but not a lot of romcom movie retellings. It's loosely based on the 80s classic movie, Sixteen Candles (one of my favorite romcoms), which I thought was truly unique. This was a quick steamy contemporary romance that I liked.
