Look, this was a fun book. I didn't expect anything more than that, and that's what I got. And it definitely was fun, and the spice was good!
But some things about this book were just distractingly.... not good... that it completely pulled me out of it at parts.
The dialogue reads like someone who went on tiktok and watched some Gen Z kids and thought, yep that's exactly how they talk all the time in real life. Even when they're adults in their twenties.
The amount of times the words 'bestie' and 'himbo' were actually spoken by the characters was so fucking cringe. Sorry, but it was.
Also the formatting of this ebook was like a fanfic, not like a published book which was slightly annoying to read. Not too much as I'm a huge fanfic girlie, but still definitely noticeable.
Also some instances of a random switch between tenses and 1st person to 3rd person. But this wasn't as often, or at least I didn't notice it as much.
I liked the couple. I liked the flirting and banter. And I'm normally not at all into the daddy kink, but I think it worked here! Though I was SO THROWN when Xander made a comment of Butch being 22 and remembering what he was like in his 20s. Like what?!? No other mention of age gap or age in general. I'm pretending it didn't exist and they're both in their 20s.
Overall, a fun read and exactly what I thought it would be.
