Severely underwhelming. The romance used the laziest tropes to get going which i woildnt mind if it werent the central focus of the book. Underdeveloped characters that felt like stock characters instead of real people. Being sapphic cannot make a book good on its own

Holy shit. H o l y s h i t. I didnt even realise how fucked up everything that was happening was till i had to describe it to someone else. The writing was so immersive and hypnotic that it truly felt like a trance. Wow

Did not finish book. Stopped at 41%.

i get why people might like this but this isnt for me; age gap relationship and like. zero chemistry between the characters

edit: the more i think about it the more i feel like this is the straightest book ive ever read. holy moly the relationship dynamic x_x
