I shouldn't have read this book. I knew that the premise wasn't for me, but I'm trying to read all of Mariana Zapata's books (this was my tenth) so I decided to give it a try.

And somehow it was worse than I thought it would be. I disliked Kat and her friends a lot. They were proud of every bad quality that they had, but put down everyone else for doing the same things. They were judgemental, hypocritical, vulgar, gross, and unrealistic. ( )

Weak finish and lack of third act drama (plenty of problems alluded throughout the book but they all come to naught) make this unique story a low 3. ( )

This one kind of fell flat. A girl falls for a porn star and he falls for her. They finally realize what they feel for each other. The end. Not much happened. The characters were likable enough. ( )

I had a hard time forcing myself to read this. For me personally a porn star hero was a hard sell. But I generally love this author so I gave it a shot. The author did a decent job of selling it. my biggest problem with it was that the characterization of the hero was lacking. If you're going to make your hero so different from the norm I need to really understand his reasoning.. Here I never really understood why he decided to start that career other than some girl said he ought to. Also I didn't understand why he kept it up once it became problematic for him. I've placed this it this under friends to lovers but I don't think it is really that. She always wanted more and I think he was lying to himself.. A decent effort was made to deal with problems arising from having a porn star boyfriend but more could have been made of that and also one problem which was brought up was just dropped. Also I had trouble thinking that a porn star would be all that great of a lover. That's really not what porn is all about. ( )

This was an appropriate 2nd book to finish at the beginning of 2017, thanks to my new friend for the recommendation, it's a genre I don't read and wouldn't have read without the recommendation and I really enjoyed it. ( )
