I took too long to read last year's most hyped book because the week I decided to start reading this, I learned that it was Kylo Ren-Rey Star Wars fanfiction. I am obsessed with Star Wars and I have met some of my best friends through fanfiction for another fandom. But, I am not a shipper of Kylo Ren and Rey. The kiss between them was totally unnecessary and honestly really gross. I shipped Rey with Poe with the whole "I Know" bit at then end of episode 8 and also Oscar Issac is easy on the eyes.
I decided to go ahead and read it and the beginning had me going WTF. I listened to this on audio and usually when I do audio, I have the physical book in my hands so I can follow along. I updated my status multiple times while reading this because I just couldn't understand some of the things that Olive did and said. The first thing I had an issue with is that she is a PhD student and she is using EXPIRED contacts. Talking more than 3 year old contacts. Then she said to Adam the US shouldn't have left the commonwealth to not celebrate Thanksgiving. Olive is Canadian and Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving as well. Seem like poor research on the author's part.
I ended up giving this a 4 out of 5 at the end because I did enjoy listening to it and wondering what olive and Adam would get up to. Listening to the sex scene was intense and I seriously wanted a bucket of popcorn while listening. I have read smut, but I have never listened to it and that was a damn experience.
I know that Ali Hazelwood has other books that was also fanfiction first, so I am better prepared to go into her books.
