I loveee Eden and I'm so happy we finally got her story 🫶🏻 She deserves her HEA so much 🥺 and even though it took her some time to admit it, Zeke is the man for that!
Why 3 stars then? While I appreciate the disability rep greatly, there were some scenes that made me really uncomfortable! Zeke just takes Eden out of her wheelchair to carry her, without her permission. They talk kinda away from the group and she has no way to leave. He tells her "well if something had happened, you could've just called out" and that is so icky. There's another scene where the two of them are in a cabin and he tells her brother "yeah she's safe her, she can't leave anyway :)" implying that it's because she's in a wheelchair. Kidnapp-y much?
I'd love to see more disability rep in romance but please only well-thought rep!
