Passion, friendship, heartbreak, and forgiveness ring true in Lovering's debut, a fast-paced ride through hookups, breakups, and infidelities… there are unforgettable beauties in this very sexy story.” This book is read with alternating POVs between Lucy and Stephen. We start off in present time but most of the novel is in the past during their college years. And then don't get me started with Lucy. She is so superficial and all she cares about is trying new drugs like weed and cocaine and losing weight and achieving a thigh gap, but then she doesn't want to date guys that look a certain way and she's super judge-y and hypocritical and ughhhhh. Stephen is charming, and he and Lucy begin having sexual encounters regularly. Lucy feels sexy for the first time, and her feelings grow for Stephen. She tells him about her mother's past actions — something she's never shared with anyone before — and feels closer to him than anyone. The unofficial couple attend a party together, but while there, Stephen kisses Diana in front of Lucy. Lucy leaves in tears, and when she coincidentally ends up sharing a cab with the couple on their way to Diana's, Stephen pretends he doesn't see her. Lucy confronts Stephen after learning about the bombshell at Macy's memorial to find out what he knows.

Stephen, the male lead, is probably my most hated yet most interesting males I’ve read about. He’s manipulative scum. Yet being in his brain was so fascinating. Everything he said made me want to reach into my kindle and punch his smarmy face. And still, I couldn’t read his chapters fast enough.
