DNF.
I'm trying to enjoy romance novels and romcoms, but I just can't STAND how pervasive the internalized misogyny is in some of the most popular romcoms. WHY is is romantic or sexy for the guy to be literally disgusting to the heroine, sexually harrassing her at work, making constant inappropriate jokes even when she's specifically asked him to stop - and doing it in front of her family???? - and then his entire POV chapter every time he's thinking about her its obvious he doesn't give a fuck about her except for how sexy he thinks her body is. Like his POV chapters are unreadably disgusting to me. I'm physically repulsed and recoiling from the page, meanwhile apparently the heroine is finding it to be pantydropping material. retching.
I may have to retreat back to the safety of queer romance/romcoms I apparently can't trust straight people, y'all clearly haven't figured out how to be sexy without sexism.

Was contemplating between 3.5 or 4 ⭐️ in the end settled for 3.5 ⭐️
The last book in the entire series. With this the story of Travis-Georgia, Rosie-Dominic and main couple Wes-Bethany end.
Have to say this book was initially boring at the start (there's only so much of the hate-love speech I could take), very exciting in the middle and a slow end.
The flip off seemed unnecessary, it did not have much details and it wasn't that interesting to read about. Sure it was the basis for Wes and Bethany but they found their own end. Felt like a neat close but overly draggy. I like how reassuring Wes was with her and how he grew into his role as a guardian.
Spicy level:
