A perfect fast read. Just smut with a plot. I loved the obsession that the characters had with each other, just made the book that much better to read.

This is a quick, easy read. I appreciated that the author put in a world guide at the beginning of the book for reference if the reader needs it. This book does not claim to be a great classic, literally. The author warns at the beginning of the book that some readers just won’t like it, and I appreciated her honesty. A lot of it was smut or “spice” but I enjoyed the premise. This is a book to read for enjoyment, and I did enjoy it.

While the preface does say it’s not a literary masterpiece and won’t have great plot, I think the pacing of this book was somewhat criminal. If it had been fleshed out better, and the character relationships had more chemistry it would’ve been a better read. If there's going to be no plot (which lots of good books don't have btw!) then at LEAST write the characters well - or even DECENTLY.
And by that I mean the first 25%(?) was about the characters growing up and a one-sided pen pal situation. I think the characters' personalities could've shined more if there was mutual writing or just more scenes from youth. The miscommunication was kind of chaotic, and the resolutions were honestly unhinged in an "this gives me the ick" way. The side characters' were certainly there just nothing important... besides Ora, who is just an archetype for delusional crazy girl who wants the MMC.
I think that all of the characters would be interesting if they had a chance to shine with some more interactions, build-up, tension that makes sense....., and healthy conflict. I'm just baffled at the entire thing really. And their ages... whew... "25" but make it mentally 16. The entire thing felt off.
Also it was personally too sexual for me (which is fine if the rest of the book held up lol), especially given the insta-love and lack of chemistry. It just made it not feel like genuine attraction (on top of the fact that I don't think we got almost any character description of the MMC besides "HE'S HUGE!!!"). I think if the author had sat for about five more minutes she would’ve been able to be a bit more creative with the work, and it would’ve been more immersive and interesting let alone tolerable.
I found this book through the author's Instagram reel advertising it, and I expected something sweet with some angst and morally gray, but it was just a weird (somewhat creepy) obsessive and flat read.

Do you love a MMC who will do absolutely unhinged things because he loves his mate, but is never ever mean to her and always worships the ground she walks on? Then this love story is for you. Is it deep? No. Is there much world building? No. Is it completely delightful even without those components? Absolutely.
