They incessantly bully and tease Declan about leaving Mason at the alter, not taking into account how difficult and traumatizing it was for him. This is definitely a toxic group that I would not want to be a part of.

Secondly, these guys are supposed to be friends, right? Yeah, no, they aren't friends. Who does that? In all honesty, I can't take a group of people seriously if they refer to themselves like that. Firstly, this gang of friends refer to themselves and the Motherfuckers. Motherfuckers: I don't even know where to start with this. I didn't get it and it made connecting with the characters super hard. These characters are all nearing their thirties, yet they still talk like frat boys! I am sorry, but I have a hard time imagining any people of this age (if any at all) talk like that. Secondly, the dialogue didn't seem to fit the characters at all. 'I think I had the upper hand for a minute here, but I've lost it now.'ĭialogue: First of, there was simply too much of it. But the funny moments were there, and they were hillarious! Sadly, many of the moments that were supposed to be funny were more awkward, cringeworthy or simple way over the top. Humor: There were some honest to god LOL moments in this book that I actually truly enjoyed. It was great to see such a broad representation in one single book! Queer: I absolutely loved how inclusive this was! It was queer in all the best ways, featuring pansexuals, bisexuals, non-binary and gender-fluid characters. I think this might just be my personal preference and others might enjoy it. When I requested this book from Netgalley it was with so much hope for a great, diverse and inclusive read. *Copy provided in exchange for an honest review* The dialogue dominated the plotline and I didn't even get sucked into the story. It's a personal pet peeve of mine when adults in romances giggle. I also really, really, really hated how the characters giggled constantly. I was hoping I would root for the romance more as the story went on, but I just didn't feel the physical chemistry or draw between these two. I felt like the set up wasn't very organic, and the chemistry wasn't quite there. Right off the bat, the premise seemed forced, but I decided to roll with it. However, I really wished I loved this and found it as funny as it was trying to be.

There are not many romance books with genderqueer characters, so it's very excited when I find one and get to try one out. I've read a number of stories by Kris Ripper, and I appreciate zir writing an own voices romance with a genderqueer MC. I was very excited to try The Love Study by Kris Ripper, but it took me over two weeks to force myself to finish so, alas, I've concluded that it just isn't the story for me.
