THIS WAS SO FUN okay so this is a “stalker romance” without the ick because Max (MMC) isn’t actually stalking Mona (FMC) -- she just thinks he is for a minute? So she goes off on him and is like LEAVE ME ALONE but then she’s like “wait...am I into this?” and a new kink is unlocked. Once they’ve settled any confusion in that area there’s a LOT of the two of them having their scenes together and they just have a lot of fun pretending he’s her stalker who catches her and kidnaps her and such lmao. And this is the ONLY way I could ever enjoy that because...they talked about it first!!! All that said there’s lots of CNC but I also actually believe their romance and the side characters are all very fun and this was all-around just FUN.
Graphic: Sexual content
Moderate: Fatphobia, Violence, Blood
Minor: Animal death, Kidnapping, Toxic friendship
Fatphobia: Mona is fat and while she's working on loving herself more there's still a lot of internalized fatphobia there (mainly about what she assumes other people think of her)
Animal Death: Mona's pet dog died before the book started and it's referenced a few times. Also, her dog's spirit is present in her apartment and Max ends up giving her an enchanted collar that makes the dog's spirit visible !
