i wasn’t bored and that’s the nicest thing i can say. gratuitously sexual, not enough plot and too much sex for my taste. also, a really weird power dynamic in one of the “spicy” scenes that made me very uncomfortable because it was teetering on assault? all three of the main characters (because, yes, it’s a love triangle) are at least somewhat annoying. i enjoyed some of her journey with her diving and mental block, and bonus quarter point because she wasn’t pregnant in the epilogue.
