If I were to ignore a few things, I really enjoyed this romance. It was hot and fast paced and it felt nice to see the REAL Astrid Parker come in to herself, find love and stand up to her mother.
The sex scenes were... HOT. It sometimes felt like there was more sex than actual romance if i'm honest...

Anyways, there are a few things that kinda bugged me, 'small' things that just made me a little uncomfortable :
- "Just enough shadows under her dark brown eyes to make her interesting" ... What's that supposed to mean? If you're healthy, without bags under your eyes, you're not interesting?
- Always adding "and non-binary people" every single time the word "women" is used. Like... I understand the inclusiveness, but there IS a difference between women and non-binary people and you can't just ALWAYS put them in the same box...
- Other phrases like : "Astrid knew some people weren't all that interested sex, and that was totally fine. It also didn't describe her at all." (acknowledging ace people) or even: "She knew [kicking kids out of their homes or sending them to conversation camps] still happened and hit kids of color and trans kids a lot harder than anyone else.", along with the "women and non-binary people" comment, made it seem like the author was trying reeeally hard to get all the brownie points...
