this started out fun, but quickly became way too intense for me. listening on audio is much more visceral for me, so i'm not sure if i could have finished this in print, but i'm putting it down. the main characters are going through it here, and i was already getting really frustrated with this for multiple reasons. checking content warnings and seeing death of parent (which has not been hinted at and there was no content warning at the beginning of the audiobook) pushed me to dnf this. also the sex scenes were lowkey not sexy. romance authors stop saying "delicious" or "my sex" (barf) challenge!
