I loved this book. Ate it up (like I do all of Simone's work, tbh). Filthy, and depraved, and just right. I'm obsessed with Simone's prose and writing style, her descriptions that are so lifelike it's like you're living, breathing, experiencing the story. Her characters who break your heart and piss you off. The ability to write from all perspectives of sexuality.

Tristan is one of my favorite main characters and his obsessive nature is somehow so sweet. He falls in love with a husband and wife to be and both of them are keeping secrets and practically stringing him along. Kinky, emotional, and mysterious with a plot unfolding beautifully in the background. My only issue is that it’s incest. Especially incest in a way where the “step” doesn’t even matter since uncles and aunts half the time are just through marriage - plus, the whole idea that step family doesn’t count hurts as someone with such a large step and ex-step family. It doesn’t even seem relevant to the plot so I don’t know why it was added? I gladly keep my eyes close to this, though, since I liked Tristan so much.
