didn't immediately grasp me- i feel pretty neutral about the writing and art styles both, so it took me a while to get into it. i do like the angle of these two women sexy chatting for months and then being so awkward and silly in real life "because bdsm people are just huge nerds" which is SO incredibly true! and once they start having feelings for each other i became a little more interested. i think in the beginning there wasn't really much introduction to the characters so they didn't really feel all that substantial until later on. it was a nice enough story but i'm hoping that later volumes will be a little more interesting in terms of the characters and their relationships, as this one felt very surface level without much depth. and honestly if the sex isn't going to be that graphic then you need the depth imo

This was so entertaining??? While it is very explicit sapphic bdsm smut, I was surprised by how wholesome and cute it was??? I’m so interested to read more of these, very fun

Did not at all like that a man took part in writing this, a book about a sexual relationship between two women. That makes me so fucking uncomfortable? Like do not do that. And the fact the book opened with promoting it as “an erotic novel about lesbian sex” as if we’re a fucking porn category is just so harmful. I also saw a review of someone saying “my boyfriend recommended this to me” which just shows how lesbians are fetishised, and with the fact that the book opens with describing it as “lesbian sex” and calling the audience “pervs” for reading this is just taking advantage of the male audience that would just love to read this. Whether or not the author is aware of lesbians being viewed as a porn category for men, putting an opening like that in the beginning is just absolutely disgusting. Lesbians and women can have purely sexual relationships with each other because they want to? Not to please men? And making said lesbian relationship in this book to have a man who definitely fetishises lesbians to become involved in the relationship and come between it just for drama and tension, who makes sexual jokes to the pair and clearly doesn’t respect queer relationships. What the fuck! If you are a man, DO NOT write a book about lesbians having sex when you’ve clearly done no research into portraying them properly? It’s fucking weird! This had so much potential to portray queer sex as something not taboo and disgusting, but something pleasurable and possible for lesbians, but instead just completely fetishised it. So disgusting
