Bro I ate this thing up. How is this YA? This stuff was rough. Poor kids. 

I found myself rooting for the two of them even though. yknow. You want them to be happy!!! The family needs to stay together!!! That pivotal moment the reader has been waiting for yet dreading is when shit hits the fan and it hurt so bad.

I really enjoyed the writing. Nothing really felt cringey (which is hard to find, personally, when reading romance novels, especially ones that depict sex) so big thanks for that.

I wish there was less focus on their physical desire as it got repetitive and instead a greater look into their emotional dependency due to parental abandonment. It was touched on a few times but I was vaguely dissatisfied.
