It’s really cheesy dialogue. Scenes are diverse? Not yet explored? Something like that. Nothing like a good chase sex scene. 
The sub-plot is so mid tho, the whole bullying thing is so extra. I wish it was more epistolary it would seem more intimate but oh well. 
Honestly I have a lot to say about the initial abuse. Like I know Penelope was like I don’t want to make likeable characters but there’s a difference between flawed characters and fully abusive characters. Does he get better at the end? Yes. But if someone I know that I was teasing pulled me into their lap in public and licked my neck then said I tasted like shit… yeah no. I would never do what she did however what he did was not matching the energy. Also I don’t think she consented to most of the dynamic.

Love love love this book! I was absolutely rooting for Misha and Ryen the whole book. The spice was great, the character development was great, and I just loved the storyline. Penelope Douglas is one of my favorite authors.

Homophobic remarks are made. Kids kept calling a boy “fag” and “faggot” which can be very triggering.

I'm rather uncomfortable with the explicit s*x scene between two 18 year olds. I'm aware it happens. I, as a 30 year old, don't want to read or see it happening.
