ChaoticMissAdventures

Bailedbailed

While the idea of this is "legal" I find myself a bit creeped by it. Erin (40ish) is visiting her daughter at college, she sleeps with a woman she meets at a bar (who is 21) and then finds out Cassie is her daughter's new best friend. We then see how the two "cannot help themselves" when near each other.
As a 40ish person who just moved my younger brother's daughter to her college town I feel this story and felt too uncomfortable to cont.

ChaoticMissAdventures I only got about 50 pages in and just kept thinking how I would NOT be okay with the story if Erin had been Aaron and the daughters father. While the younger person is totally of legal age, it still isn't something I am cool with. 10mo
johncadams @ChaoticMissAdventures Thanks for the warning. There's nothing like a good DNF rating to help lots of people save time and money! 10mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @johncadams from the reviews I am in the minority here, but I do also love a good bail review so hopefully this can help someone like me. 10mo
johncadams @ChaoticMissAdventures Doesn't matter. Every response is valid! 10mo

Gah, this book was SO FRIGGIN GOOD! And to think I almost passed on reading it because I wasn't a big fan of Wilsner's last book because I thought the burn was too slow. DEFINITELY not the case here, shew! 🔥

Sapphic, age gap romance, where a woman has a one night stand only to discover the next day that it was her daughter's good friend. And while they *know* it's complicated, the sparks don't stop flying and suddenly one night isn't enough💥

AlaMich Well, that would certainly be a bit awkward! 😂 13mo
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian I loved this one too! Very steamy 🔥💦 13mo
swishandflick @AlaMich Didn't have enough characters to add that both the daughter and love interest are currently in COLLEGE 😳 13mo
AlaMich @swishandflick I picked that up. Even MORE awkward! 13mo

#Loveathon was such a blast, and I can‘t wait to do it again next February! I managed to finish 101 books/graphic novels this month, but I still have loads of romance left on my phone, so I‘m all set for next year. 😂

I‘m missing about 30 books from this collage, but here are all the ones that were originally on my TBR. I‘m pretty proud that 70% of what I read was preplanned. I‘m getting better at sticking to a TBR 🫣

marleed Wowza! 14mo

Finally digging into what might be my favourite cover of 2023. The colour combo is sublime!

Bonus points for checking off “couple not facing each other” for the #Loveathon #ispybingo board.💜❤️💙

Clwojick @peanutnine It was so good! I literally stayed up to finish it, ans then immediately crashed as soon as I hit play on my next audio. It was an easy 5⭐️ for me! 1y

Fun palate cleanser. Not my usual style, but I liked this. It entertained me while asking nothing from me, brought a bit of narrative tension but ultimately a good vibes only story just when I think I needed one.

Oh, this was fun. Cassie and Erin stayed ignorant of their feelings very slightly longer than I personally prefer, but I loved their not-dating ways and how they made each other better. And I didn't expect some of the twists with Parker! #romcom #contemporaryromance

Delightful and sinfully sexy! It's a romance between a 38-year-old, Erin, and a 22-year-old college senior Cassie ... who is good friends with Erin's 18-year-old kid. It's as sweet as it is dirty, very light and fun, an "idiots to lovers" story where they don't realize how much they like each other. I was pleasantly surprised at how Wilsner handled the reveal with the kid/best friend. It was tense waiting to see how and when she would find out!

I can‘t limit my review to the number of characters Litsy requires, so:
