booksafety 's review for:

Jesse's Diner by Cardeno C.
4.0

Book safety, content warnings, and tropes down below.

On the one hand, Mike had no shame about sex and he constantly pushed me to have it, so I shouldn’t be ashamed of having taken his advice. On the other hand, I had slept with his father, which, I was pretty sure wasn’t what he’d had in mind.

Cute, quick and no angst. Exactly what I was in the mood for at the time. Nice to see one of these where the older MC isn’t hella hesitant, and even was the one pursuing. Best friend’s dad ftw.

3.5 stars rounded up.

“What is he talking about?” “I, uh, don’t know, but can we sit down?” The adrenaline was wearing off and I felt a little shaky. “Sure, sweetheart.” His arm still wrapped around my shoulders, Steve led me to the couch. “Aww, he calls you sweetheart. That’s cute.” “I might punch him,” I said under my breath. “I’ll hold him down for you,” Steve said agreeably
