Reviews with content warning for Abandonment - Een fout is zo gemaakt

It took me a while to get into this book and even when I did, there were a few things that I just didn't enjoy. I didn't connect with the author's writing style and the problems in the book were repetitive. I did enjoy how the author depicted the relationships between the best friends though, and how it showed how much they depended on and loved each other.

The story was interesting and I did want to know what would happen when their relationship was found out (I kinda wish there was more drama, it just seemed weirdly chill). I did find out the age gap troupe isn't for me but if it's for you and you enjoy troupes such as forced proximately, secret relationships, miscommunication/lack of communication, and best friend's parent, I'm sure you'd enjoy this book.

Premise is just too out there for me to really take their fairly smooth sailing seriously. Pretty smutty (which was good) but even that got old after awhile. Agree with others that you have to suspend belief for a moment to get into it. If I weren't listening to an audiobook I'd probably DNF though.

Also, hate how they just threw in the underdeveloped "Black bestie" shoulder to lean on for the two white women for the sake of "diversity".
