So this would've been a somewhat decent romance if not for the amount of sexualizing in the book. I honestly felt like the two main characters didn't love each other they were only attracted to each other's bodies and the fact that they constantly talked about it was so annoying even when they were disscusing important life changing situations and this says alot of bad things about the characters like the fact that they can't control their desires at all. When I read a romance I don't want it to imply that love is only about the bodies no that's not it. The book disscused really important subjects and I loved the idea but the author ruined it by sexualizing the characters in a horrible way. If I could've gotten over it for the sake of the story believe me I would cause I liked it but it was impossible. I may sound a little harsh but I don't mean it like that I just wanted it to be clear that this is not a good thing I hope the author learns from this in the future. Thank you netgalley and the publisher for giving me an e-arc of this book.
