I knew I would absolutely love this and I did. It’s trash but it’s MY trash. 

Some excerpts from texts I sent my boyfriend while reading this in one sitting while he was at work in the middle of the night baking pastries:

- This is the alpha/beta abo romance of my dreams. I have PREFERENCES and she is MEETING THEM

- She didn’t write a sex scene but that was like,,,,,,,,,,,, the most accurate description of what like…….. the sexual pleasure of touching the person you love very intimately feels like I’ve ever read


- This is WORLDBUILDING . there has been NO SEX YET but there is LORE and Children and CATS and a heroine with personality that isn’t sassy or clumsy or theater kid but instead is sad and he’s only a LITTLE bit of the Usual Big Wide Man and she’s not smol so I’m having a grand old time.
