as of 06/09/2025: i read this in the height of it's tiktok hype and got swept away in the hype clearly. looking back, it's such a basic book with poorly characterized characters and a shitty author but hey i enjoyed it enough in the moment to purchase the set. i will continue to read any future book, though not in a way that will financially support sjm

so so so gay and so so so good. this book catapulted my reading rampage into lgbtqia books

god i purely read this as a tiktok rec. learned that i am not for the super duper dark romance books
