4.0

Representation: Polyamorous Heroine

Safety Rating: Safe

• No cheating
• No OW/OM drama
**Note: Each of the Heroes compares the Heroine to OW in their minds. The comparisons include during emotional and physical intimacy as well as comparing their relationships in general.
- Comparisons include faceless women in Geroge's past, women (named but not characters in the book) George and Edward shared, and Edward's deceased wife
- Heroine makes a comment of being in love with George for years and having to watch him hookup with OW and resign herself to being friend-zoned. Although, upon re-read, I think George has been celibate for the past year (i.e., once he realized he was in love with Perry and wanted her to meet his brother).
- Heroine sleeps with Xavier (George's cousin), which devastates George cuz he didn't plan on him being included in the throuple. But he realizes that if he's ok with a poly relationship, then he's also ok with Xavier being included since he's their cousin and bff.
• Does have Edward and Perry pushing each other away
• No separation


Possible Triggers: Yes

• Recounting of Edward and George's abduction when they were kids - includes allusion to the abuse they suffered


Ending:
HFN but mild cliffhanger cuz Edward proposes to Perry.
