As someone else mentioned, if Erin had been Parker’s dad the whole story would have come off as disgusting and predatory.
Also, there was such an emphasis on Erin going to therapy, but nothing about Cassie going to therapy. I think most people can benefit from some sort of therapy and based on what we were told about Cassie’s birth family and how that has translated into how she approaches the world, I think she could probably use some therapy.
I enjoyed the writing for the most part (the sex scenes were 🔥 🔥 🔥) and the fact that most (all?) of the main characters were queer, so will definitely check out the author’s other book, but think I’ll be skipping books with this premise in the future.

Also, as a general rule: if you feel the need to hide your relationship from the people you love and trust because you know they'll admonish you or it will hurt them, you shouldn't be in the relationship. Period. This is something both Cassie and Erin did. And it's a huge red flag.
Finally, it's clear that Cassie is using this sexual relationship as a way of coping with her own lack of parental affection and in the process she's using Parker's mom who Parker has struggled to have a good relationship with. She's self sabotaging in multiple ways when she really should just be in therapy.
