I finally read this because my fated mate Leigh Kramer (please read her review) loves this book, as does other trusted romancelandians. And wow I was really blown away!

A thrilling exploration kink and consent between Talia, a college student, and Sean, a bit older graduate student. It is insta-lust that turns into the sweetest love story (the way Sean cares for Talia whew), albeit one that enjoys their pleasure with some pain and daddy play.

I was really concerned about Talia's therapist who really was trying to make Talia feel like she was damaged and wrong, and that part of the story did make me uncomfortable. I am not knowledgeable to comment about rep, but the way the author portrays it, the reader is fully aware this therapist is not a good fit for Talia and is in fact harming her. So do take care with that if needed.

CW for cutting (in the past, described), depression, gas lighting (not between main characters), and more that I am now forgetting because I read this a bit ago and did not note them down (not doing an official review).
