3.5/5 ⭐️ (has spoilers)

Page turning, easy to read, easy to tell why this is popular. I struggled with the FMC’s age and relation to the MMC’s though. A lot. I think I aged her up more in my mind to be able to get through this. I also didn’t feel great about her choosing Kaleb (initially), Jake taking her virginity, and some other weird shit. The smut was A+ though and I did enjoy the plot of her meeting this new “family” and learning a new lifestyle that was the opposite of what she was used to. This would be more of a comfort read than a quality read, if I had to categorize it.

Note: I read this while in a remote cabin in the woods so I may have gotten more out of this than some lol

There were definitely some things I didn’t like about the  writing style and at times I just felt disgusting reading this book but I actually really liked the story. Good story. Good smut.
