Destiny (howling libraries)
My entire review can be summed up with: *massive, whimsical sigh*
Really though, this was so wonderful. The chemistry between Scarlett and Lukas was incredible, I loved the mental health and trauma discussions, and most of all, this was perhaps the single best portrayal of kink discussion I've ever read. While I don't personally feel like this book was as explicit or kinky as I expected it to be based on the general reception (lol), there was SO much emphasis on consent, aftercare, and (best of all, imo) even delving into why submission is so comforting for a lot of people. I loved it so much. ♥️
Buddy read with Malli!
Thank you to the publisher and LibroFM for the gifted audiobook! All thoughts are honest and my own.
✨ Representation: casual queer rep (love interest and multiple side characters)
✨ Content warnings for: dom/sub dynamics, discussions of BDSM and consent, sports injuries, trauma, brief mentions of emotionally/verbally abusive parents, brief mentions of parent loss and grief, kink-shaming (challenged), anxiety
