So where do i start? first of all i am a sucker for taboo romance with age gap and authority figures…so this book and its plot should be perfect for me right?
so i really liked the plot and i have to be honest this whole age thing is disgusting she is fucking underaged! i tried to ignore it but i got mixed feelings through the whole book…i thought i was getting arrested tho so it was the forbiddened romance i have been reading so far (the step dad one was more taboo but i hate this book with my whole soul so i pretend that i have never been reading or seeing this book in my entire life) and i enjoyed it beside the fact she is like 16 and he is 32 😗👀
but i liked the chemistry between coach and gymnast but it is a very toxic relationship. i am sorry to say it but kova is an a$$hole :) like wtf why does he fuck without an condom? why is he still staying with his girlfriend? AND WHY IS HE SO AGGRESIVE?! like dude she is 16/17 😗👹
some things didnt sit right with me and it was mainly about kova :) so he is one of the biggest red flags men in books that i have been reading so far. am i going to read the next book? yes! will i enjoy it? probably yes. will i ever like kova? NO ;) but its ok i really like the writing style and the yk scenes ;) (its like reading penelope douglas so i ve been loving it!!)
