5.0

I’m not sure if this truly is a 5 star book for me, but I gave it 5 stars because I don’t think what I want in an actual 5 star book exists. I was skeptical since it was an age gap which I usually hate. However what I really enjoyed about this book was how out-in-the-open the FMC was with her family. I always like bdsm in my books, but I often get this yucky feeling when they keep it like some sort of dark secret. The other thing I LOVED was that they had regular lives and enjoyed things outside of their dynamic. I always get this yucky feeling if they’re always in the dynamic and nothing is ever normal or fun. I LOVED the FMC’s sister. Loved the trans representation. I loved that Emerson came to absolutely shit on her awful father. And tbh I didn’t mind that Beau ended up like changing his mind at the end and deciding to be a good person. I liked that he had her back after treating her like shit. Tbh I loved the whole damn thing so maybe this book is 5/5 for me.
