I didn’t like how this book was written at first. It took me quite a few chapters to enjoy the way it was written. But once I started getting giddy about Thayer & Salem, I enjoyed it from then on out.
The age gap is odd to me, but something I could look over for the plots sake. I did think he showed a huge paternal role with the gifts and protectiveness of her!
Check the TW before reading. Death, abuse, sexual assault, adult/minor, etc are all mentioned even if it’s brief!
