FINALLY, after reading hundreds of romance novels, I’ve stumbled on a book with a heroine who has had fantastic sex before. I’m SO SICK of the virgin trope, the “not a virgin but so inexperienced won’t you teach me” trope, the “never been given an orgasm by a man before” trope, and all the damsel in distress in the bedroom tropes. Plenty of guys are great in bed but that doesn’t make them the hero of your particular book, and. That’s. Okay.
So this one has a fairly serious bullying/cyber bullying theme, but the book still manages to be lighthearted. It was kinda insta-love, but had great backup for it - each character has real reasons for falling in love with the other’s personality, and not just riding an emotional high from sex and calling it love. I loved the side characters, including Sarah’s dad, who is a little over the top but in a funny way.
