While often don’t like when the main couple fuck after just meeting, Katee Robert crafted two emotionally constipated people who would believably have sex right away rather than talking to each other about their attraction. I mean that positively as the character growth from each of our main characters during this smutty adventure was wonderfully done. I also appreciate the casual queerness of Thane and some of side characters. spoilers and trigger warning for abortion. I also very much appreciated that while Catalina does get pregnant towards the end of the book when she did not want to due to her trauma. Thane also completely supports her decision and it is treated as a necessary for her mental health and wellbeing. The epilogue also doesn’t show her as being a mother in the future which I appreciated with the lore where it would be beneficial for Thane and Catalina to have a child but he puts her needs in this matter first.
Moderate: Abortion
Minor: Confinement, Emotional abuse, Fatphobia, and Abandonment
