If you’re reading this book for a plot, you’ll be disappointed because it only makes up about 20% of the book. The rest of the book follows the interactions between the characters, so if you want taboo smut you won’t be disappointed.

Yes, the interactions, if not fiction, would be alarming but I think it’s unfair to review the book in that light. Considering its length I felt I sped through it and would recommend it for taboo romance readers.

This is incest, pure and simple. There’s grooming, SA, and relations with a minor and an adult. Booktok did me so wrong on this one, I’ve learned to research books more before going in blind. Absolutely disgusting.

Stick with it. The ending is worth all the "WTF?!" moments! Wish the ending would have been 3/4 of the way through so the ending wouldnt have been so abrupt.
