I honestly really hated this book in the beginning pages. I thought it was corny and similar to every other rom com book with enemy-lovers & fake dating tropes. I honestly pushed through just so I could read ~something~ and then I ended up finishing it in a day. 

I think the author incorporates cheesiness in the most perfect way. I love how they tackle mental health, toxic relationships, big feelings like shame ect. I love how loveable these characters and how the author brought together a gorgeous dynamic between them. This book was so well-written that I found myself truly outside of myself and as if I have a connection with the characters (not even the leads) myself.

God I have loved all of Lemmings books so far but I hope I'm not the only one crying about length. I'm not pressed on long 800 page books, but these 3 books that have been under 200 are slightly killing me! I want to enjoy this amazing world Lemming has wrote for longer and I feel like so much more detail could have gone into all three.

I knew this book would just be primarily an erotica especially being a novella since eroticas tend to be short, but now that I read it I slightly wish it wasn't. I found myself craving more depth from Lemming in all three books.

With all that said, I've never read smut this good.

Either way of if the author keeps making short stories or ventures into longer novels, I'm a permanent fan ♡

I am LOVING this series and I'm astonished to see the authors writing skills progress so quickly! I absolutely love the world the author has created and the characters in it.

I do wish the books were longer though, I feel with about 200 pages I'm just not getting enough. 

I hope in the next book the author publishes will be Dantes story!

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did! I honestly don't even know what to say, this book was just perfect! 

I would have liked for the leads to discuss why the previous relationships were toxic and handle a few things better- but ultimately that's even if the author knows those things to be able to mention them.

Honestly this book was so good! It started out pretty corny but as the story progressed the comedy got much more natural. I loved the characters and oddly found them relatable. 

The book should have been much longer, especially since it is still fantasy and traditionally fantasy books need to be longer with better world building, but considering this is the authors first book I'd say it was outstanding. Definitely deserves a standing ovation.

The spicy scenes were also by far some of the best spice scenes I've read

I'm actually really shocked at these books. I had never heard of the regular novels, but these graphic novels are really good.
