DNF at 25%. 
 
A repressed woman hires a high-class hooker in this sapphic romance. 
 
I came here for the traumance but ended up feeling like the author was taking themself too seriously and having a hard time engaging with the lackluster leads (a timid girl who has never had an orgasm and a whore who finds herself superior). I was holding out hope and trying to muddle through when the author had one fmc whip out a dental dam. We all have our icks and this is one of mine. Like, why bother with oral at that point, if you ask me? 
 
Anyway. I never even made it to the trauma.

Love is this book. Took two days to finish because I had some stuff to do, but when I actually sat down to read it was a breeze. Technically I DNF’d it at 95% but it’s just because I hate endings. I rarely finish a book 100%.
