Wanted this to be better. It kept popping up on recommended lists. But the main characters do most of their personal development in their own heads instead of having actual conversation with each other. That means some of the sex feels non-consensual, especially in the beginning of the book. We know she’s into it because we get to read her thoughts, but out loud she’s actually saying no. I think I’ve been spoiled by writers like Cherise Sinclair who fully understand boundaries, safe words, consent, etc.
