"Honestly this book was a vibe. However, Georgettes word choice is nothing but unfortunate😭 like honey, why did you feel the need to say "he ejeculated into the conversation" like every other page? Im not like put off or anything I just have lots of questions. That and the main couple honestly gave off more dad-daughter vibes than like lovers. Personally I would have been happier if they continued that relationship than get married bc of how different they seem to be emotionally and mentally.
