5.0

the first installment of Campus Diaries was practically vanilla in comparison to this one, and not just sexually. the stakes in this one are so much higher—
voyeur sex, domestic abuse, death of a parent
—and the elevated emotions and trauma bonding (note: not totally accurate given when the trauma takes place in the plot) would have been enough to keep me engaged; their banter, strong sexual chemistry, and quality characterization really just drove the nail home. by the end, I was so impressed by how strong and secure their relationship was. by how much they could trust and lean on one another. and by how much they had grown. I devoured this in less than 24 hours and can confirm it is definitely my favorite of the two. it pains me to wait for the next installment to drop!!
