I didn't enjoy the All-smut route this book took at like the 4/5 mark too much, but it was still really good and enjoyable.

Also the take on the fmc is really realistic, which could be annoying but made it a little more grounded for me to read.
Excited to see where this leads!

For all the Swifties, filled to the brim with wavering emotions and easter eggs.

Euting out my heart is the only way to stop the hurt."
