Este libro lo leí por tener una lectura ligera, y la verdad es que estuvo ok. La trama no fue nada del otro mundo, y las escenas sexuales estuvieron bien pero siento que podrían haberlas aprovechado más para que fuera algo más original.

La protagonista me dio un poco lo mismo, pero el protagonista... Ay que verguenza que me dio. De partida se hacía llamar Joker, era un claro otaku y gamer, además de que sacaba a colación que había estado con muchas mujeres y que todas lo amaban a pito de nada, y me quieren vender que es un tipo sexy??? Nonono. 

También ocurrió algo tirado para el final del libro que me dejó super descolocada. Es verdad que el libro tiene Trigger Warnings y es importante leerlas, a mí se me fue y por eso quedé como shockeada que apareciera eso de la nada. Pero aún así me molestó porque me dio la sensación que pusieron este tema tan importante como herramienta para agregar emoción a la historia y que la niña se viera más vulnerable. Quizá no haya sido así, pero se sintió muy extra y puesto a último minuto, no lo sé.

Y creo que el epílogo también fue muy ??? vino de la nada y muy apurado con todo.

Creo que es un libro entretenido, cumplió su propósito de ser una lectura rápida para poder despejar la mente, y si tuvo sus momentos sexys, pero no creo que haya sido bueno.

So unfortunately another overhyped book by booktok. Don't get me wrong, the story was alright for the short 90 pages we're in it. But the smuttier side of booktok overhyped the smut WAAAAY more than it actually is. It's pretty decent smut, but not like panty-dropping.

Hot 🥵 dang 

This is a 🌶🌶🌶🌶 read when Dana says Smutt is the Plot. She is not pulling any punches. 

Also can’t wait for my “smutt is the plot” mug ☕️ I ordered from her Etsy yesterday 😻.

It is seriously incredible how she weaves incredibly smutty stories that are spicy 🥵 and and a emotional depth that makes you connect,  understand/relate to and love the characters.

Games We Play is the third book I’ve read by Dana and I can’t wait to dive into “Secrets we Hunt” set in the same world.
