Amazing book. The age gap was so well written sometimes I even forgot there was one. Now I have a little obsession with older guys(especially if he’s a dilf).

I have nothing against the trope, but the characters gaaahh they can kiss my ass.
 
If only this would have been a novella I could relate to the preposterous situation or the characters without an ounce of maturity.
Smut could've been really good but PD has to go and use vuvla unfriendly stuff to come ತ_ತ

I never really got the lesson after reading her Credence (:

ENG
1st time (2021) - 5 stars
2nd time (2021) - 3.5 stars
this book has unlocked my love (obsession) for age gap romances. what can i say after reading it for the second time:
-it was a bit unrealistic
+i still liked the relationship the main characters had; how they developed it
-cole
+slowburn
-jordan might be mature for her age, but sometimes she was acting childish (i get it it's what all of us do in some situations but she was pictured as 'i'm much more ahead of my peers' and then she did something that did not click with the whole persona she was supposed to be)
