The book about a woman soft-domming her door boyfriend has a better understanding of consent and personal boundaries than recent romance offerings. What a time to be alive.

Surprisingly well-written and a fun read, if pretty…tame? Concept aside. When you see one stock-standard plot of an everyday human and their oblivious nonhuman partner

brought to life by the Greek gods (yes, there are that many)

, you see ‘em all. Probably made it easier to go along with the stuff outlined in the book’s content considerations.

[Quick tangent: I loved those, by the way. Bare minimum, yeah, but given some authors’ tendencies to forgo proper warnings to avoid “spoiling their plot”/trying to get more copies sold on unsuspecting buyers

(cough, cough, K. Webster)

, it’s appreciated.]

This one was an interesting read. I only found it because of a book group that I'm a part of on Facebook and I was intrigued, so I looked into it. I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I started it early Wednesday morning, but I couldn't get myself to read past the first line because I was sleep deprived and giggly, but once I actually started reading it I really enjoyed it. Yes, the FMC has sex with her door who can turn human.

“I have no name but yours, Tana. I am your faithful guardian and protector, nothing more, nothing less. I am your door, and I love you.”

Author writes about how unethical AI is in the intro. Author proceeds to write a story I'd only imagine I'd get from AI. /jk

All jokes aside, what did I read? I can't even rate this because for how bad the plot and characters (and to some degree the writing) are, I can't tell if that was intentional or not. I went into this as a comedy and left it very bewildered, but laughing. Congrats to the author for writing such a cursed book, that it inevitably became a comedic masterpiece.
