This Is How I Lied by Heather Gudenkauf

I quite liked this book! The ending wasn’t quite as twisty as I had hoped, but it was still a satisfying ending! Well written and a fairly quick read while still feeling like a good length.
The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities by Dossie Easton
4.0
This is a great read for any person, in any type of relationship, and any type of sexuality. Even if you aren’t interested in a poly lifestyle, the discussions on trust, jealousy, disagreements and more are worth reading for any relationship. It’s also fantastic for singles and talks a lot about it being okay to choose to be on your own. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to gain new perspective and better their relationships with others and themselves.

TW for suicide and self harm!
There were some really steamy kink scenes. But there was also some cringey stuff like “now crawl to me like the dog you are”. But everyone is into different things.
Was surprised by the rather graphic retelling of a suicide attempt. Seemed a bit unnecessary and out of the blue, especially without any sort of trigger warning.
All in all though - recommend the audiobook - his voice probably makes this even better. His girl voice made me laugh a couple times though hehe
