Why did I enjoy this book? 😅
✨ Spoilers ✨
I mean there were things I didn’t enjoy. I’d recommend skipping THAT scene right at the start (it destroys the tone of the book - checks TWs). There’s insta love, a pregnancy trope and it’s all around a bit weird. 🤔
But, I couldn’t help but speed read this in a day. It was quite refreshing after some pretty heavy chunky reads. I’ve never read anything like it. Turns out alien smut isn’t a total no - who knew? 🤷🏻♀️
Also shout out to the illustrator of these covers - absolutely stunning 🏔️
