This book destroyed me. I've been sitting here ugly crying for the last hour of the book. I'd give it a higher rating, but it was slow moving, which made it hard to get into initially for me.

I was surprised by this book given the description. Yes, it was smutty, but it had an actually good story to go with it. The listen was only 4 + hours, but it felt like the author managed to pack a good deal into that time frame. I immediately borrowed the second book.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 2%.
I noped put of this book within the first 20ish minutes after the MC spent about seven to ten of those minutes fetishising large women and categorizing them. Damn
