Honestly the age gap wasn't as huge as the book made it seem, but there were scenes that made me feel uncomfortable because they were so student teachery and just made me forget their ages.

When they were just Penelope and Cruz, they made me swoony. Penelope was really vulnerable and didn't try to put on this act around Cruz. And Cruz just genuinely cared about Penelope and wanted to be there for her.

I loved the twist at the end. I love all Rebecca Yarros twists in her romance books.
