This was a fun time! It was outrageous and over the top a lot of the time but that's what I came here for. Even the trope everyone is complaining about I felt made sense. My only complaint was that Winnie got incredibly annoying near the middle of the book. Almost unbearable with how she reacts to certain things. Kallum was just a big goofy teddy bear and I loved him. I'm hoping there will be a third book to round out the INK boys!

There are no good variables to work with when the answer to the equation is other peoples' idea of perfection.

Another one where I liked the previous book in the series, liked the main and side characters, liked much of what was being addressed, but still didn't love the story or execution. Le sigh.

There's no age when people stop learning about their bodies.

A note about the sexual content: features a sexual awakening and admirably frank language and scenes of exploration as a character deprograms from the learned shame and inhibitions of purity culture Other content notes: in addition to the unplanned pregnancy trope, there's a

miscarriage scare

that opens the door for

toxic religious parents

to try to regain a foothold in a main characters life
