Good plot idea but in my opinion it was poorly executed.
Pros:
A good plot twist
Loved the spicy scenes
Cons:
-“She’s not like other girls”
-The frequent use of the word “bestie”
-Unanswered question about Kip
-The unending amount of PTO used despite being set in the USA
-Repetitive lines
-ChatGptesq descriptions
-Did I mention the use of the word “bestie”!?
It just couldn’t hold me in the story at all.
