๐Ÿ“š Loved it, no notes. The age gap is addressed pretty thoroughly and seeing everything from her perspective really helps cement that there isn't any sort of abuse. 

๐ŸŽง First person POV, only her perspective. Duet narration. The voice actors were both really good, although early on I had a hard time separating Eric Nolan's voice in this from a serial killer character he performed for a different author/book. But the actors both were good at portraying nuance in emotion.

๐ŸŒถ๏ธ 3.5/5 Typical spice for an AH book. A handful (or less) of explicit scenes that were all done really well. Only a whisper of kink at one point.

๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆโœŠ๐ŸฝDiversity in side characters, both in sexuality and ethnicity, but both MCs appear to be white and straight and cis. Also everyone seems to have a lot of money.
