Going into this I was expecting a smutty novella rather than a full length book with a plot beyond stalking and sex. That said I did enjoy it. I did find some of the dialogue cringy
specifically when they kept calling the cat their son and themselves mommy and daddy
. I love that her cat was called Fred, same as mine. I did really enjoy having more to the story than what I was expecting but it did make it a very different read:
they had met before because he was her former hookups hot roommate, she worked this out fairly quickly, he accidentally kills someone who was trying to hurt her (in the most anti climactic way) and then throws up
. Overall it was good but not as dark as I was expecting it to be.
