Yes
Not my favorite Hazelwood, but she took a difficult topic (kink/BDSM) and made it accessible and even, I suspect, accurately conveyed how healthy and trust-centric those relationships can be. It’s probably less of a favorite only because there was less pining/tension before the spice, and kink culture isn’t totally my thing (tho I didn’t mind all the extra spice). I loved the side story of female friendship.
