Can’t decide what I disliked more. Maybe the N I N E T E E N year age gap?? Or maybe Jordan who’s “not like other girls 🤪” because of her love for the 80s??

I read Credence first and although that book has flaws the writing and character development was much better than this one. It has a “happy ending” but not my favorite.  MMC bothers me so much!

The smut was decent, however there wasn’t a lot of it. I didn’t like any of the main characters and the relationship was toxic and icky.

i shouldnt have enjoyed this as much as i did... has nsfw content, btw! the age gap was... crazy but why'd i actually root for them ?? miss penelope made characters that were so easy to relate to & get attached to. cole :( im glad he got his good ending !! & man i loved pike more than i should've... idk. did i cry bc im a hopeless romantic? yes. i can understand why penelope is so popular altho there were some lines that made me giggle bc i couldn't take it seriously. also,,, im ngl... miss jordan giving pike an ultimatum irked me but that's always just been something i hate! anyway. it's a fun read. is it maybe problematic bc of the age gap (19 & 38) maybe? whatever. it's an entertaining read!
