The audiobook changes some facts about the book. The narrator changes the age of the female MC to 18 instead of 16. When I switched to physical copy I was very confused. This book was not for me. There wasn’t much of an emotional connection between the love interest, mostly sexual. The male mc also manipulated her a lot. Not my taste but I can see why it’s so popular.

i loved everything about this besides the large age gap. like why 16 and 32, he easily could've been made younger or her older. it didn't seem predatory at all, but the age gap is definitely noticeable, as noticeable as the lack of contractions.  im excited to read the rest of the series- which i've heard conflicted reviews about
