When Emmi turns eighteen and can't return to juvie, there are two move in with yet another foster family until she finishes high school, or attend the Little Rebel Academy. The academy sounds like a dream come true - her own room, new clothes, free food, and college prep classes to help her get back on track academically. There is only one twist... It is an academy for those adults who practice DDLG and age regression. Follow Emmi's story as she tries to overcome her trauma with the help of Phoenix, her handsome new caregiver daddy.
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.
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!
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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.

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!
