I knew this was gonna be good bc I absolutely love Cia's writing - but I think this might be my favorite book of hers yet (and one of them was a beauty and the beast retelling!!)

and sorry rastus, but I think Calder has bumped you down a notch on the favorites list. I freaking LOVED him! he was so sweet and cute and funny and I am in love. AND GUESS WHAT ELSE. this fish boy has not one BUT TWO PEENS. and a peen pocket.

like with the rest of Cia's books, I was hooked from the first paragraph and invested in the story and. the characters all the way to the last page. I know I haven't talked about Allie, but I didn't forget about her, and I loved her too. These characters were both written very well, and I loved their chemistry and relationship.

I dont want to say much about the story, but overall this was a solid ten out of ten for me, everything was absolutely amazing and I LOVED it. this is a slow burn novella that you won't want to put down. I am so very grateful that Cia let me beta read for her again, and I hope you all add this to your tbr asap and enjoy it as much as I did :)
