I'd known about this book for a while but hadn't really given it a shot until I was laid up in bed after breaking my shoulder. Just needed something basic I could listen to while extremely high on pain meds and marijuana. It served it's purpose, but this book is nothing special and does NOT deserve all the praise it's getting here and elsewhere online (namely Tiktok).
It's basically a perfectly average YA book (which I'm totally fine with reading!) about a girl in a dragon riding school, but then completely removes the possibility of it being YA with how sexually explicit it is. As a gay man, I sometimes forget the realities of heterosexual activities and BOY did this remind me! *shudder* Also, the whole enemies to lovers thing seriously doesn't work with me, it's a big book ick for me, so maybe take my review with a grain of salt knowing that.
