3.0

Representation: Gay supporting character

[1st Re-read: 24 April 2021]

Overall: 3-stars

There’s quite a lot of ‘not like other girls’ rhetoric thrown around. Also, I would’ve preferred the Heroine to be older — maybe in her early 20s since, despite her hard childhood, she was quite sheltered and naive.

It’s a really cute and sweet reverse harem contemporary romance, though.

Safety Rating: Safe

• No cheating
• No OW/OM drama
• Does have some of the Heroes pushing the Heroine away
• No separation


Possible Triggers: Yes

• Discussion of:
— Past Murder of parents
— Past (natural) death of parents
— Parental addiction
— Substance abuse
• Abduction
• Human trafficking
• Threat of sexual assault


Ending:
HFN
