Spice: 🌶️.5/5

Format: ebook

This definitely had a ton of potential but unfortunately we didn’t really reach it.

The amount of information squeezed into the small page count just didn’t work for me. Too much telling, not nearly enough showing. All a bunch of details that didn’t matter to the reader because we never got to see that part anyway, as the book ends before they move into the apartment and start at the school that was info dumped about.

There was a ton of buildup to the singular sex scene, which would have been fine if it were an especially good scene, but I don’t think it was. It was pretty boring and almost awkward.

There was also a lot of blame put on the parents for not accepting their relationship, which? Of course they don’t? Love me a taboo romance, but it’s laughably unrealistic to think parents would be okay with their sons being together. Most of what the parents did wasn’t okay, but in that one instance they can’t possibly be blamed.

Mostly just a miss for me.
