Going into this, I knew it was different to “standard” Ali Hazelwood, but it was VASTLY different. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was sure it wasn’t what I got. 

Personally, some of the scenes brought up some previous sexual trauma which was confronting and a bit tough to get my head around. But FUCK Ali knows how to write a brilliant sex scene, and such incredible characters. 

I adore Lukas, I love Vandy, the stress of competitive diving, and sports and just generally being young and trying to figure yourself out at uni - I felt it all. Again. 

Surprising use of the word “cunt”, but glad to report no “folds” were spotted 🫡

Idk how to feel about this one gang bit it for sure was a book and I've read it
