๐ง Only one narrator (female) but told from both POVs. It was sometimes a little hard to tell whose POV it was, if you spaced for a sec or took a pause mid section, as the narrator's MMC internal dialogue wasn't super distinguishable from the FMC's. And sometimes it was hard to tell what was said also versus just thought.
๐ถ๏ธ 2/5 It was kind of a bummer that the only spice was the FMC catching her cheating bf, which is described in pretty graphic detail. It would've been nice to have some action between the MCs instead of/in addition to that.
Graphic: Infidelity
Moderate: Cancer, Toxic relationship, Excrement, Vomit, and Alcohol

๐ถ๏ธ 5/5 The excerpts from his audios were hot, and the sex scenes were hot, and there was a fair amount of both crammed into just 5 hours.
๐ณ๏ธโ๐โ There was definitely a lack of diversity in the book. Given it was only five hours, there weren't a lot of characters in the story, and both MCs seemed to be white. The book did have an overall feminist/sex-positive/pro-SW outlook, which I appreciated.

๐ง This book was tagged as having two narrators so I thought it would be dual narration with both POVs (my fave). But it's actually all from the FMC's POV, with only the final chapter from MMC's POV. I was disappointed because I like Zachary Webber and would've liked more of the MMC's POV.
๐ถ๏ธ 3.5/5 There were a few steamy scenes.
๐ณ๏ธโ๐โ Not a lot in terms of representation. There was diversity (ethnicity, sexuality) in the side characters but we barely see those people.

Minor: Bullying, Genocide, Infidelity, and Pregnancy
Did not finish book. Stopped at 62%.

๐ถ๏ธ 4.5/5 The spice was spicing for sure. There was kink and power play, there was dubcon, there was a 3some. Chapters 2 and 17 stuck out as particularly exciting. (Only reason ๐ถ๏ธ isn't a 5/5 is because there was still a lot of plot (not a bad thing). 5/5 would be like, this is all smut no plot.)
๐ณ๏ธโ๐โ Representation: both MCs are brown skinned but ethnicity isn't named. FMC is not straight. Kink well-repped.
