mikareads's review against another edition

I listened to this book as an audiobook and I am genuinely ashamed of myself for listening to as much of it as I did. It was a weird and disgusting book and it made me never want to read smut again, despite the fact that most smut books are (hopefully) not this cringey. It wasn’t even just cringey though, it was also disgustingly problematic and misogynistic, despite being written by a female.

My second book by this author and yet another five star read! I would 100% say go into this book blind if you don't have any triggers. It was an incredible read and I'll definitely be sad to see these characters go, but they'll permanently reside in my brain.
