It was short. It was sexy. There were some definite face-palm moments. Insta-love was one of them. Lack of condom usage was another. Crossing the lines of professional behavior was another. However, I've been looking for a New Adult story that wasn't a carbon copy of the faux-angst-tragedy-bad-boy-who-needs-saving-girl-with-secrets formula.This was true to life-at least the first part-since many millennials are living back at home due to the economic downturn. It was refreshing to read about wealthy black people, even if Serena's uptight parents were indeed a nightmare. And the sex toy scene was rather hilarious, though she might have saved herself a lot of grief by locking her bedroom door.Even though Serena's dealing with unreasonable expectations from her parents, she does manage to assert some independence, even if it's her clothing and hair choices. Why her parents thought she needed therapy really wasn't explained, but if they only knew what the final session was like. And the sessions themselves, it never seemed she was getting anything out of them, or at least utilizing them to grapple with the issues she was facing. All she seemed to do was either act like a spoiled brat or ogle at the "good doctor" as she called him.Speaking of which, I never really got a sense of Daniel, her psychologist or his brother Kevin. They were rather interchangeable. Tall, good-looking, blonde, and of course, well-endowed. Yes I know, 40 pages but still.***Spoiler Alert***And I have to take a star away due to the "are-you-freaking-serious" part where Daniel tells Serena that she can work for  Kevin at his accounting firm. Mind you, she just had sex--a menage by the way--with that same brother. Right...and just how smart is that? Good sex aside, Serena should have nixed that idea right then and there.The editing was excellent for a short work. Overall, this is an author I will be watching.
