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 book was CRAZYYY 🥵🚪💀. the language was so descriptive that it created a shockingly vivid picture that truly immersed you into this unconventional romance, in a way that is uncommon and not easily replicated. the plot twists were earth shattering and utterly impossible to predict. throughout the novel you can witness a new perspective of human life and love will prompt self-reflection and contemplation, a level of thought simply on its own level. this book was a masterpiece and such a wild ride I would definitely recommend it to every single person I know 🫶🫶

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.

Well I guess I'm attracted to doors🤣
This book had me asking myself what the fuck I was reading and questioning myself so much especially when I got aroused
This is one of those odd smuts I recommend
The love tana and drys had was absolutely so cute even if he was previously her door 
The aftercare was top tier and I've never seen books really go that detailed into it.
This book was sexy and wholesome at the same time the spice level was 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 I was so shocked I didn't think I'd like it
Shoutout to vera Valentine for making me even kinkier🤣 definitely can't wait to read more fucked up smut by her/others (give me recs😅)
I cried  when Drys got shot by tanas creepy neighbor Randall.
My heart hurt so bad like what the actual fuck


Now to share some quotes
“That was a handjob, Drys, and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a man completely reboot his hard drive over it like that. You okay, baby? I worried I’d broken you for a second there.”

Her light teasing made my cock throb pleasantly. She stroked me again, firmly enough that my hips kicked again and I moaned out loud, nodding frantically.

“I’m going to tell you a secret, Drys. I have a weakness for big, strong men who do as they’re told. Good boys who enjoy working for my praise. It makes me feel safe and protected. Do you know anyone like that?” (he got so nervous when she said this)

What do you want me to call you Tana asked Yours, I thought, before the question really sunk in. Right, a name. Humans had those. I didn’t.

“The look on your face when I told you what a good door you were for me.”
She was the most beautiful human I’d ever seen, and if I’d been in love with her before, I was entirely smitten now.


“Drys, I don’t know if you can hear me. I’m not even sure you weren’t a fever dream, but I can’t let you go. I made them bring you back to me after their investigation, after Randall was charged for the death of that poor girl.”

“My Beautiful Tana, how I’ve missed you. I’d die for you a thousand times to live this moment.”

Saw a video on youtube and I just had to read it. I couldn't stop laughing. But it also had a serious tone which really made me enjoy this. 

A plot that's truly unhinged, I can't.
