Hear me out - I love Daisy Jane, truly, I do. Her book Stray was one of my favorite romance reads of 2022. She has mastered taboo romance and I am slowly working my way through her backlist… however…. this felt like she was really just going for the shock factor. I’m not going to yuck anyone’s yums, but I struggled reading topics and tropes as serious as these in a novella format with no character or plot development. 
- 
The pacing was odd as some scenes would be entirely skipped over, others would take full chapters, and some days would pass with a single sentence. It was difficult to follow and it made it hard to enjoy the fun parts of the book b because I didn’t care about the characters at all! 
- 
Don’t let this turn you off of Daisy, but I’d recommend skipping this one.
