Let me start by saying this book WRECKED me in the best way possible. Mia and Garrett's story isn't just smut - it's a raw, emotional journey about self-acceptance and mental health wrapped in some seriously spicy scenes.
The GOOD:
- Mia is EVERYTHING. A confident camgirl who owns her sexuality? Yes please. Her club performances had me fanning myself.
- Garrett's mental health portrayal is so rare in romance novels. His "I don't want to die, I just don't want to live like this" line hit HARD.
- That 2-year time jump epilogue? Perfection. Realistic mental health progress instead of a magic fix.
The NOT-SO-GOOD:
- The constant "step-siblings" reminders got old fast. We get it!
- Garrett's backstory felt slightly rushed - wish we'd gotten those details earlier.
Personal favorite moment? When Mia performs at the club and owns that stage like the queen she is. I had to put my Kindle down to process that scene!
Final verdict: If you want a book that'll make you sweat, cry, and stay up all night reading? This is it. Just maybe don't read it in public - the blush factor is REAL.
