I ran through this book in one day. Are you really surprised? Forbidden AND sapphic? Sign me tf up. There were a lot of things I liked about this book. My critiques are based almost solely on personal preference, so take them with a grain of salt.
Let's start with the good! Obviously, it was hot. Hello?? There was no doubt in my mind that it would be. I am alsoo a sucker for redemption story and Katelyn did a great job of showing readers the other side of Bridgette. I've loved Maggie since the beginning and this book solidified that for me.
I fell in love with the two of them together and how they were able to be their true selves when it was just the two of them. The damn trauma that these two went through was heartbreaking and they definitely deserved their HEA.
With all that said, I'm really not a fan of interconnected books that are happening in tandem with the previous books' plot. It makes it difficult for me to stay engaged when I already know what's happened. This made the middle section of the book difficult for me to enjoy and I found myself skimming quite a bit.
That leads directly into my next point. The pacing was a bit off for my liking. I absolutely loved the beginning, the middle dragged, and the ending felt rushed. It's by no means a deal breaker, but I wanted to spend more time on the actual plot for Maggie and Bridgette.
Overall, I definitely enjoyed this one and would recommend it to anyone looking for a sapphic, forbidden, and spicy read with a healthy dose of emotional baggage.
