I could not be more obsessed with this book! My love story is very similar to this one so it hit home. I am floating after binging this audiobook in one day. 🤪🙌😍

Good read if you’re looking for a more graphic bullying sexual romance. I like how the author list content warning on the last page of the book.

kmsmith_99's review against another edition

There was an effort to create a BDSM atmosphere. It felt more like an off-brand Fifty Shades of Gray. Think about what you thought BDSM was in high school. Now, imagine that said high schooler writing a book about BDSM. Boring and anti-climatic.

The book has one main focus, the one you least expect when you find it in a supermarket book aisle. But it does redeem itself at the end. Should have a fair amount of trigger warnings. To all the aces - this might not be for you. But it was fun to read, added an extra bit of spice to my day.
