4.25

I can’t help myself, I’m giving this 4.25 ⭐️ 

Was there any plot to speak of? If an account of how two people get together, bang a lot, and fall in love over 3 whole days counts as a plot then, I guess? It literally took until the 90% mark to get to the conflict (and immediate resolution of said conflict), however this is not a criticism. I am not complaining, I knew what I signed up for and it did indeed deliver. 

Glitch is the perfect man and his only flaw was being so CLEARLY fictional and written by a woman, because no man is this perfect. He was like your fave spicy audio voice and Josh from Lights Out, but giving Daddy (without actual daddy kink btw). I guess one other thing is that he was very “touch her and die” and “kill every man who’s wronged you” with absolutely no follow through lol he’s literally a small business owner/computer nerd not a mob boss, but hey I love the sentiment ☺️ 

This was also, I felt, very sex and body positive. We have a plus-sized/curvy FMC, kink exploration, aftercare, lots of toys, with so much open communication and consent through everything. These two were pretty much just obsessed with getting each other off like nonstop and by any means necessary. 

The FMC had some pretty horrible, verbally abusive ex-boyfriends who did a number on her self-esteem and there are a couple “flashbacks” of her remembering some of the things they’ve said to her. There are depictions of insecurities and the ups and downs of the lifelong conscious effort that is loving yourself but it was still relatively low-angst with lots of praise and reassurance. 

P. S. did we really need every single “Heyyyyy Kitty”???
