A cute, but spicy(!!) story that I finished in less than 24 hours. Docked one star because I feel like there were point where I would’ve liked for Sage and Elias (Eli) to discuss their image with each other because while in their relationship, they each found security, I feel like the type of strain social media can play on newer relationships was never really addressed. Each social media mention was very quick and lighthearted, which I guess I expected more out of. Looking forward to reading more from Khabra in the future though!
