📚 This is a review for the 4-book series overall. I binged all four in a row so I can't really separate them in my head anyway. I think this series could've just been one long book, or maybe a duology, instead of 4 separate books. It seems a little stingy to break it up into books that are so short. But that's an aside.

📝 The series starts all first person POV of the FMC. As we get closer to the end of the series, we also cycle through the 4 MMCs' POVs as well. I loved the humor and irreverence throughout and the FMC was very likeable, even if not a very Good person. There was a ton of action and very little down time in each book, so they all went by super fast. The love story/stories were compelling, if frustrating at times.

🎧 Only one female narrator throughout, even though there are MMC POVs. I found it hard to tell the difference between the MMCs' voices and had a tough time keeping them all straight in my head, with the exception of Jude who sticks out in multiple ways in the story.

🌶️ 4/5 but a bit of a letdown tbh? I was expecting more graphic scenes. And more whole group stuff, there was hardly any of that.

🏳️‍🌈✊ There are gay/queer side characters, but other than that we don't get a lot of diversity. No real mention of racial distinctions or anything, and the parts of the books that take place on Earth are all just like, generic America.
