I know this is a super popular book, but honestly? I found it kind of ridiculous. The spice was spicy, but some of the writing had me stopping mid-page like… what did I just read? At one point a MMC’s penis was described as “proud and regal”, I’m sorry, what does that even mean? Tem went from zero experience to full-blown sex goddess in record time, no fumbling, no hesitation, just expert-level everything. And don’t even get me started on having to “kiss the clit” as a sign of respect. I passed away. 💀
That said, I buddy-read this with friends, and that definitely made the journey a lot more enjoyable. The group chat reactions probably entertained me more than the book itself.
