I hop there is more to this couple.

I really hope there is more to these two than this. I felt like it was just getting good. It could of been spread out more something I don't say often. The end felt rushed maybe because Casey did such a good job buillding the world and the character development that it left me wanting more.

This was a twist on the usual DDLG style stories. In this world, each case is reviewed before someone is offered a place, which adds a different layer to the story. I do wish the book went more into how this school actually finds these cases, whether it is through social workers or some kind of referral system. If the series continues, that would be a really interesting part of the world to explore more.

At the beginning I was not sure how I felt about the age labels, but as the story went on I could see what the author was trying to do and it made more sense in the context of the story and the characters.

Emmi’s story was very heartbreaking. Her past and what she went through emotionally was the part of the book that really stuck with me. That emotional side of the story is what made this one stand out.

For some reason I didn't notice the "Instalove Romance" part in the subtitle and just assumed this was going to be another smutty DDLG erotica short...

I was completely wrong.

Everything about this novella blew me away, from the way the Age Regression was handled, to the realistic characters, the closeness of Emmi and Phoenix...

I'm not even sure how to really explain this book to people... I read it two days ago and I'm STILL thinking about it.

This is a beautiful low spice romance that explores DDLG - even if you aren't into DDLG, I think you should still read this! JUST TRUST ME!

[Morana Bylur · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a beautiful no-spice romance (there is just one kiss at the end of the book) featuring the concept of age regression as a therapeutic method to process trauma. I would argue this is almost not a romance (in book 1, at least) because the first 90% of the book is about the FMC coming to terms with her trauma and learning to let go and accept help. It's not until the very, very end that the main characters become a real "couple" and admit their love for one another. The book is set up to be a series starter, and I'm excited to see how the romance progresses going on into book 2 now that she has finally learned to let down her guard with him.

SFW and yet more yucky than the filthiest of smuts

Right after turning 18 the girl is forced to move to a grooming facility, that's supposed to be a school for littles, where kids from underprivileged environments are being institutionalized into the lifestyle.
The writing is soooo bad. Characters have no personality and there's absolutely no plot. Also it's low-key giving a repurposed Wattpad fic. Dramione maybe. Do NOT recommend. I especially warn off agere littles from reading this one. Don't be fooled by the sfw claim. It'll make you upset.

Nice quick read.

Was a great quick read. Im not normally into third person novels however, this wasn't to bad. I think its because it was quite short. I loved the characters and the whole dynamic worked. Everything was explained nicely, grammar was good although, there were a few errors. I really didn't want it to finish. I wanted to know more about them and their life afterwards. That's my only downside note.

This book has forever changed me

This was phenomenal and I will always recommend this book . emmie reminds me of slot of myself and phenoix was perfect for her and this whole dynamic is written out so well I wish the story was longer I truly loved this and will definitely reread this so many times

[Madison · Rating 4 out of 5]

FINALLY, a books that shows the therapeutic side of age regression, entirely separate from kink culture. the writing was not good - tons of typos and grammatical errors, but the content was so well done. homegirl, please make me your editor so I can pick your brain! i’m dying to hear more from you, especially if it’s SFW! 💕

first time reading this type of story.... very interesting (not gonna lie, i thought it would be more smutty but there was zero spice) this was more about Emmi being introduced into the DDLG Age Regression world, joining the Little Rebel Academy.

very sweet and cutesy (no spice)

[A.R. McKenna · Rating 4 out of 5]

What an adorable story! It was so very cute. Casey Leigh is a great writer. I love the whole concept of a school for littles and their caregivers. Emmi and Phoenix are so cute together. I love the other characters as well. I look forward to reading more from Casey Leigh.

Would highly recommend

This is light hearted and felt soothing while reading. The author's writing was amazing. Would recommend to people interested in the lifestyle or within the lifestyle as a lighthearted read.

it ended too soon!!

This definitely left me wanting more!! It abruptly ended…this had so much potential! The growth that both the Daddy and little girl went through came through.

so cute and adorable!

It was a really sweet story I loved it a lot but I wish the ending was more thought out. It just ended so abruptly it I felt like a hit a wall.

[Harper Crane · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved it!!

Such a cute and heart warming read. The FMC is such a darling and the MMC is a sweetie. Definitely recommend!

[wildcherriesandthyme · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was by far my favorite romance so far. Closed door and it was what my soul needed. This is what I wish I had.

[Nicole · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really enjoy but...

The book was great, a really good read, but it seemed to abruptly end.
The story of the MC could have gone on for so much longed and I really wish it had!
