πΆοΈ 5/5 The excerpts from his audios were hot, and the sex scenes were hot, and there was a fair amount of both crammed into just 5 hours.
π³οΈβπβ There was definitely a lack of diversity in the book. Given it was only five hours, there weren't a lot of characters in the story, and both MCs seemed to be white. The book did have an overall feminist/sex-positive/pro-SW outlook, which I appreciated.

π§ This book was tagged as having two narrators so I thought it would be dual narration with both POVs (my fave). But it's actually all from the FMC's POV, with only the final chapter from MMC's POV. I was disappointed because I like Zachary Webber and would've liked more of the MMC's POV.
πΆοΈ 3.5/5 There were a few steamy scenes.
π³οΈβπβ Not a lot in terms of representation. There was diversity (ethnicity, sexuality) in the side characters but we barely see those people.

πΆοΈ 4.5/5 The spice was spicing for sure. There was kink and power play, there was dubcon, there was a 3some. Chapters 2 and 17 stuck out as particularly exciting. (Only reason πΆοΈ isn't a 5/5 is because there was still a lot of plot (not a bad thing). 5/5 would be like, this is all smut no plot.)
π³οΈβπβ Representation: both MCs are brown skinned but ethnicity isn't named. FMC is not straight. Kink well-repped.

π§ Single POV, female narrator. I liked her.
πΆοΈ 1.5/5, mostly closed door. This was disappointing for me; FMC spends a lot of mental energy thinking about her breast reconstruction and lack of nipples, and to have most of that fulfillment she finds with MMC just skipped over was a missed opportunity, I think. There is a little bit shown on page but it's like, looking and light touching, not the real passionate stuff.
π³οΈβπβ BRCA survivor FMC, her mom survived cancer, one of FMC's two bffs dates women, and mental health rep kinda more generally.

π§ Mary Jane Wells narrated. The story was dual POV but MJW was the only narrator. As always, she did a lovely job with the voices and acting.
πΆοΈ 4/5 for a handful of explicit scenes
π³οΈβπβ Not much diversity in the story... There's a bit of class diversity in her one friend who's a veterinarian. Nothing I heard indicated diversity in color or queerness or ability.
