bigtjustreads's review against another edition
This book had so much potential and was actually comedic but the porn aspects ruined it. Because the book dealt with so many triggering and traumatic topics the sexual aspects between characters should have been done more tastefully. Also the psychological jargon is just not accurate and it was so noticeable. Failed the show don’t tell rule and also had poor grammar. I wish this story had an editor. It had so much potential and so many pros but it was not bearable. It feels like satire but the author doesn’t know it. Great plot but the sex scenes and dirty talk were cringe and not embedded properly.

Just you. My brain has picked you, and now, I can’t undo it. You’re trapped. With me. For life.
I found this to be a very easy book to read - not because of the topics discussed (those were very triggering) but because the writing is very straightforward, the plot is simple and the characters have clear goals and desires. I did, however, feel that the book was too one-note and the development of the relationship was too rushed, I like to see at least a little bit of tension or conflict. The tone, as well, was something I struggled with. Onley James is clearly a good and very creative writer, but the contrast between the darkness of this book and the lighthearted nature of the prose was off-putting for me.
I did think the idea for this series is very interesting, so I would be interested in giving the other books a go.
