I started this book as a JOKE but like—IT WAS SO UNEXPECTEDLY GOOD. I don't particularly enjoy reading about animalpeople but the plot of this book was really interesting and it proved me completely wrong when I thought it was going to be a crackhead typa book. 4.5 stars out of pure enjoyment and surprise.

Is no one going to mention how offensive this book is lmao??? Like wtf did I just read? I’m not even talking about the smut (which had some screwed up purity crap undertones). DNFed at 75% because I could not take it anymore. Looking for white savory crap? Colonialism? A book making light of enslavement? Culture appropriation? Well then, this is book for you.

Honestly I’m more upset with myself because I started this as a joke to read something smutty and different and instead ended up all the way pissed off. No idea how an author managed to shove so much problematic crap (handled extremely insensitively) in such a short book lmao?

I could write a whole essay on how a lot of the romance books, especially monster lover books, on Kindle Unlimited are white savior propaganda. Actually, I think I will.

For funsies.

a campy, sweet marriage of convenience sci-fi romance that deals with themes of colonization and gentrification in a light-hearted but nuanced way?? ofc this was everything to me !! 10/10 if you love alien romance or even just sweet romances in general that deal with complex themes in a brilliant way you should read :)
