Underestimated

The portrayal felt raw and nuanced, but I wonder how much was based on real experiences or research. Did the author aim to challenge or reinforce certain tropes around BDSM?

Her transformation felt intense and emotional, but I’m curious if others felt it was a realistic progression or more of a narrative choice for drama.

The book doesn't shy away from difficult topics, and I wonder what motivated the author to explore these shadows within a romance framework.
