Jane is apparently bi or pansexual and it looks like Katherine is asexual. That was a delightful surprise even though I'd love to see it explored more. Hopefully in the sequels it will be.

This book hooked me from the beginning and was a great read. I think it slipped a little bit into trauma porn with a detailed whipping scene, but overall it was absolutely fantastic. Also SURPRISE QUEER REP!! Which I absolutely love, obviously.
