I think there should be a content warning for maybe the worst way to describe the MC's intimate area I've come across in my fluffy lesbian romances. There were some scenes that were truly excellent, the author captures queer yearning well, and but ruined the sex scenes with cringe-worthy names for body parts. It almost made me put the entire book down, but the plot and characters were interesting enough that I finished it. It's a common gripe I have with romance novels, but this one was particularly unpleasant to listen to in audiobook form.
