I loved this book! It is cozy like a Hallmark movie but with some nice sex scenes thrown in.
I really enjoyed how this book confronted and critiqued purity culture and had the protagonist learn how to be sexual and then seize upon her new knowledge with vigor and not shame.
I adored the romantic interest and how much of a true marshmallow he was through and through, while still being able to maintain his sex appeal.
The trope toward the end may put off some people, but I adored it.
