I'm enjoying this series. It's cool getting to see more facets of the Winstons and the other characters. I like how the timeline of this story overlapped with the previous book.
🎧 Dual POV with two narrators. The male narrator is a repeat for the MMCs in this series.
🌶️ 4/5 A handful of explicit scenes, they were decently done. Not particularly out there or anything, kinda vanilla, but still a good time.
🏳️🌈✊ The FMC has OCD. This is central to her character as it's pretty severe and she is working hard to control her actions/compulsions. I think the author did a really good job of showing what life with OCD can be like and still respecting the FMC as a full person with many different sides to her, who is capable and deserving of loving and being loved.
