The Boyfriend Subscription by Steven SalvatoreMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Teddy is dealing with trauma; he is recently divorced (the ex cheated) and his ex father-in-law sued him for ridiculous (and false) reasons (Teddy should have read the fine print/paid more attention though). Either way, he doesn't have the money to fight and has lost his business "Plant Daddy." He's got a week left in NYC with his best friend and roommate Kit before moving back home to New Orleans to live with his mom.
Cole owns his own copy, VERSTL which aims to empower sex workers. He also has traumas from his childhood (distant parents and feeling like he didn't belong). He also doesn't think he will fall in love.
I liked the Pretty Woman retelling. Both characters are likable and grew throughout the book. Teddy realizes he can rely on his friends. Cole realizes he is worthy of love. I enjoyed Teddy's friends, Cole's family. I thought the issue with Jason wasn't resolved as well as it could have been. The ending was a bit abrupt, and an epilogue would have been nice (like where they are in 6 months for example).
