Interestingly this is the first romance I've read in a while that is single perspective. We only ever hear Queenie's narrator voice.
I did have to skip some portions of the book because a few of the student-teacher romance aspects felt morally gross. But for the most part, this was a damn good younger male lover type of book.
The thing I hated the most was that the rival MC, the actually illegal bad guys, were Mexican, and that was their only defining trait. So that bit of blatant racism is pretty shitty.
