It's a fun book! It's silly and tropy but its literary a fake dating harlequin so it's what you sign up for. 
The plot was goofy at times but touched on some topics I do not expect in erotica and was actually well structured. 
I really appreciated the body positivity in it. I don't think someone who is not really into men would enjoy it but I do enjoy a thick tigh and grapefruit calves (even if it's a phrasing I never want to see again). 
Despite the cover it is not obviously a destiel fanfic :D

Dzieci Diuny by Frank Herbert

Dunno if I checked out at possession, adult eight year olds, twincest, or the worm thing, but I definitely checked out.

I try not to give negative reviews to independent authors so I withheld this one, but. It was not good! It is the book equivalent of a shrug. Sorry!

This book is for someone who is in the mood for something horny. 
I did enjoy it not gonna say no but it was not for the plot or the writing. 
Low-key for girls with traumatic childhood and humiliation fetish.

This was recommended to me by my tech support guy and I think it deserves a star just for that. 
It also had a nonverbal baker rat I'd die for so that's like two more stars. 
It was cute and it made me happy idc what anyone thinks.

I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Se-hee

When the best thing you can say about a book is that is was sometimes relatable, it really isn't all that great. 
Maybe I have a bad case of "I could have done that" but I have those thoughts in my head every day and I never considered them interesting enough to try to monetize. 
12 weeks of therapy is nothing and it feels irresponsible and harmful to just push it out there before making a meaningful progress. 
Sorry that happened to you or congrats I guess.

I am a simple man, a Robot says my life doesn't need a purpose to have a meaning, I weep.
