YA+D/s power play+angst 🫢

Interested to see how the dynamic evolves - currently I’m not loving it but I know people who have read this book and liked it so I’m going to keep at it.

"I'm not bashing monogamy," she says, with the same breath that she says monogamous people who choose to stay with the same person in a loving, fulfilling relationship for their whole lives are, basically, boring as fuck. Wow. I thought I liked Shona, but I guess I hadn't seen enough of her.

Woah.
That was so satisfying! I was thinking maybe this talk wouldn't take place, but I'm so, so glad it did. This relationship is still weird as fuck, but it's getting better and I'm so happy about the whole thing.

"Communication's a beautiful thing."

You can say that again lol

I'm still not 100% comfortable with the dynamics of the relationship, but I can see how it... Kinda works? It makes sense? For these characters, at least. Idk.

Damn son! Niles sure is like, super clueless haha (don't blame him, their relationship is hella weird so)

Oh my god the angst, it burns!

I want to read more about those characters. I honeslty felt like I knew them. This author delivered this story beautifully.

So something shitty has just happened in my country; completely unrelated to the book. But it made me quite melancholic. Little kids with cancer does not help either. I can't believe how strong the writing is in this little book.

Ohh I should have read this one way before. It, it is so nice.

I fucking do not understand why we’ve never included dirty talk (or any talk) in our sex before, because it is the actual best thing.

Absolutely agree!!!

I can't tell if it's bad or good that I already feel anxious about this couple.
