First J.J. Mulder book I’ve read; people RAVE about them. To be honest, people weren’t lying, it was good. I really liked it.

Around 22% I felt that the characters did’t feel like they had distinctive voices. It wasn’t a problem but that didn’t really change. It made the book feel a little flat. 

 

The author did a really good job of dealing with bad, kinda unwanted, consensual seggs. The character doesn’t seem to realise saying 'no' and that leaving was an option. I feel like this is more common in real life than is usually discussed and I really like that it was woven into a story that really focused on pleasure and feelings rather than lust. 

 

For a new adult book I never really felt that the MC’s were overly mature for their 21 years and I really appreciated it. They had some BIG life changes and managed them in a believable way 

 

From what I gather the second book in this series in going to be pretty heavy. 

 

Also, Vas is apparently German. The author has 100% never met a German.
