The greatest worst thing I've ever read - unintentionally hilarious.

Okay but that was literally sooooo good!! Cash and Dante were so good together and it was so sweet to see Dante transform after her got clean I literally can’t. But why were the tropes so good too? Like daddy kink mixed with Whitney Houston’s “The Bodyguard” and Daisy Jones vibes!!!

I only got through this as far as I did because it made me uncomfortable and kept me awake on my car drive. I don't like age-play, it makes me uncomfortable...

Enjoying this book was a bit unexpected to me, I expected it to be a bit darker and kinkier. But it was unexpectedly sweet and loving. We watched as Dante learned to let himself be loved and slowly begin to be his sober self. It felt a bit unrealistic how easily Dante was able to get clean, especially since he’s been using for so long. But I guess his drug problem stemmed from the lack of love he received as a child and how that affected him growing up. So he probably felt like it was easier let go since Cash was there for him? It might be unhealthy to be dependent on a person to be clean, but this is a love story so I’ll take it lol. I also loved seeing Dante and Drake attempt to get closer, it’s never too late to try again (unless you really don’t want to). It was also a bit unexpected how they dealt with the stalker.
