I didn't know what dacryphilia was. Every day we learn something new.

Read x1 and finished on June 2, 2024.


Review from read #1.
  • this just was not my type of book but i figured because i’d already started and it was so short i may as well just finish it
  • i don’t know what Vivancos’ obsession with big beefy Russians is but i feel like this keeps coming up and i just am not personally on board with this particular train
  • Sasha as a character spoke broken English most times at best, which made to hard to connect with him at all but also made communication much harder because of the language barrier
  • this made the two MMCs often not communicate well which is something that always bothers me a lot, because it’s the blueprints for an unhealthy relationship
  • even the steamy scenes felt kind of awkward and out-of-place, but maybe it’s just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
  • so maybe this was someone’s cup of tea, but i simply couldn’t get myself on board with it personally

The Russian accent/phonetic thing was very cringe to me. These two never truly spoke about anything. Thankfully it was a quick read but overall it felt very mediocre. I will commend this author for writing about a kink I have absolutely neer heard of before but I didn't really enjoy this relationship building. They were just hanging out lol.

This is a perfect sexy m/m novella.
Friends to lovers are my secret sin so I fall in love with the silly Jason and the funny Sasha. As Sasha would say WE BEST, VERY GOOD SEX!
