4.25
Content Warnings: Sexual content, stalking, and revenge porn.
Mention of: pedophilia, death of a parent(s), raising a sibling, parental abandonment, and being a single parent.
As a gamer, who keeps up with a lot of gaming friends on Discord I knew I needed to read this book.
I'm sure if people don't really get internet friendships they'd think this is an insta-love book but they'd be wrong. There are people I've known for years, through gaming/podcasting, that know more about my life, my inner thoughts, etc than people I've known, in person, most of my life.
From the start I loved both Glitch and Ara...and completely related to the insecurities they both had. I love that we get to know so many sides of Glitch and get to see his unbreakable bond with his sister and nephew.
The way Briana wrote this book, nothing, imo, felt rushed...it felt like it was the exact speed that made sense for Glitch and Ara. Hell I've been with my husband almost 15 years now and a lot of people told us, years ago, that we should slow down. We moved in together after only 3 months of dating [and we didn't know each other before dating, unlike Glitch and Ara], barely together a year when we got engaged...and a few months after our 2nd anniversary we were married. I get how people saw us, I was 21 when we met, and married at 23...but the timing felt exactly right for us...and now almost 15 years later we're still just as goofy as we were when we firs started dating 🤣
Anyways, enough about me 🤭 I adored this book and look forward to reading the rest of the series!

This has got to be the filthiest book I've read 🥵🔥 many scenes will be living their best rent-free lives in my head. I thought it was really cute, although the instalove declarations were a little over the top at times. The fact that Glitch was a smutty romance audiobook narrator was just *chef's kiss*
