I couldn’t do it. Laine felt too childlike for me and it honestly made my stomach hurt.

While all the parts are there theoretically, this book just isn't for me. It's not incredibly well written, there is a lot of infantilization, and the smut is a bit awkward. While I often look the other way with some morally grey situations in books (age gaps, virgins ect ect) this just too weird with all the kid stuff. I understand that trauma can influence kinks, and age play is a thing but I am personally very uncomfortable with the way it's portrayed in this.
While I love a Daddy kink, and I love other books with virginity stuff and age gaps, the fact that this girl meets this stranger on her 18th birthday and stays in a child's room, and that's where they do most of the spice...in an actual childs room...not even a room they made with childlike things for her, it's a real childs room...no thank you. I know by the end they recognize that she's an adult and they should be partners instead of him always treating her like a child but it was all a little too icky for me
It's a quick read so not much time lost but all in all not very good in my opinion. The audio book is alright.

Okay, I’m all about this +18 dating older guys and the « daddy » kink. BUT this was… awful, cringe, and uncomfortable. The girl is 18 on paper but in her mind and the guy mind, she is a 10 years old and that became a book I’m going to say it, close to pedophilia. I read mafia, torture, rape so nothing really choc me because it’s only books but that was too problematic for me.
