Ashley has done it again. I will never tire of saying it: it's the best written erotica and in general the best that I have ever read.

I'm terribly obsessed with how she can write something so intimate without the MCs knowing each other before and how in so few pages she gives a memorable story.

It was so hot that I was burning with them🫠

5.0

I like each book more, with each book the worldbuilding expands more, which I find super interesting and there's more development of both the main and secondary characters, making me love them even more.

I love that since it's a why choose romance with mates added throughout the series, there's LONGING in every book and it's so deep that it has me obsessed. And it has scorching spice, how much I have enjoyed the scenes in this book...

The plot had me hooked at all times and the crazy cliffhanger!! I need book 4 ASAP!

It's a quick and cute story. This novella feels like reading the diary of a teenage girl who is discovering and navigating friendship and love. I think the importance given to the different experiences of queer people and how Sophia highlights the privilege she has, is one of the most notable things in the book.

Sophia is a wonderful MC and confident for her age. I really liked all the characters, they are all endearing and I only wish the best for them because they deserve it.

I would have liked more depth in the development of the scenes, and the character development falls a bit into the background (except for Sophia's) but I enjoyed seeing their growth.
