pickWow, I cried so much at the resolution. 😅 Get ready for a post-book, post-cry headache (in the best way).
This was an absolute pleasure — one of the best romances I‘ve read in a while — with two small caveats:
1. Reading about anything you have intimate knowledge of is always tricky; it leads to hyper-criticism. After raising a house rabbit for 12 years, I have intimate knowledge of what it takes to be a bun-mom. And Lane had a pet bunny.👇🏻
monalyisha 1/4: Most importantly, rabbits absolutely should not be caged. I‘m disappointed that the author perpetuates this myth. They‘re incredibly social creatures, they‘re built for speed, and they‘re prey animals; keeping them in a state where they have a limited range of motion *and* they know they can‘t escape is cruel. 3d
monalyisha 2/4: I don‘t care how big Simone‘s condo was; it‘s ridiculously easy to litterbox train a rabbit. There‘s no excuse for ignorance. They‘re not just a quirky accessory for an MC with tattoos, anxiety, & a Skoolie. Give the woman a cat if you‘re not going to do the research! Make it a Sphynx cat, if you have to (which are adorable). (edited) 3d
monalyisha 3/4: And 2. The HEA was a little dragged out. But every detail was so well-considered, thoughtful, and touching, that I won‘t complain too loudly. 3d
monalyisha 4/4: All relationships — romantic, platonic, and familial — are complex and tender; the sexy bits are (mostly) *very* sexy; and the dialogue is snappy. A real delight (and one that‘s not shy about capturing healing moments and catharsis). 3d
