Such A Filthy Girl by Effie Campbell
4.0
This series of novellas is such a delightful, naughty treat.
The author has managed to toe the line between creepy and endearing in a wonderful way. Everyone involved is fully aware of how weird it all is, but they can't help themselves, and the tension between the main characters is chef's kiss.
It's no different between Leo and Estella, a pair that has had a secret relationship as teens due to their parents having been married. I felt for Leo, being stuck in their parental home due to agoraphobia.
Even though they're stepsiblings, I didn't have much trouble with this taboo pairing in this scenario because their parents got together when Leo and Estella were in their late teens.
The story is a little over 100 pages. Despite the size, it definitely felt like I'd read a full-size novel.
