3.0

It took me more than half the book before I could actually enjoy any of the characters. It felt like the old school lesbian books where the characters can’t be happy or one of them have to die before the end. The behaviors of Dani were definitely problematic and it’s clear she could use some therapy. The bdsm portrayed wasn’t healthy and isn’t the way things should be done. Camilla reads a book and freaks out over witnessing other scenes but jumps into canning. Canning isn’t for beginners and a lot of damage can be done by an inexperienced top. They don’t really discuss scene expectations or limits, they don’t mutually discuss safe words, and there’s no aftercare at any point. Dani being totally okay with any and all abuse is problematic too.
