Reviews
“Structure of the story is very well done with many emotions and events captured in intricate detail, it really makes the story alive! It’s also borderline X-rated but in a good way.” -Bradley Warren

"The descriptive way of writing is what I like. The way the author turned a typical high school love story to an erotica is just really impressive, because those type of writings will take place mostly with adults. So i liked the idea of ‘Hey, high schoolers can also have it sensual too, it's not just an adult thing'." -Charice Barcelon
