Cecilia Reynolds has hated sweets, ever since she was a child—particularly those of the pastel Easter candy variety. This earns her teasing from friends and colleagues due to the passionate nature of her vehemence. But can one chance encounter with sentient marshmallow rabbit hunks change her mind about this aversion forever?
I’m happy I didn’t like peeps in the first place, because there’s no way I could eat them after this.
27 pages of gross, sticky erotica with two giant humanoid bunny marshmallow men, you’d think this would be fun but sadly, it was not. The concept of this book is so silly and crazy but the execution totally missed the mark. This starts with a woman with some trauma from peeps in her childhood but no details are given as to what kind. She decides to overcome this trauma by purchasing some bunny shaped peeps to eat. The peeps come to life and bang her, no details are given as to why or how they animate either, and they bang in a pretty boring spit roast scene. Some basic world building would have helped set the stage for this, make her trauma funny, make them work really hard to give her needed therapy, anything! Sadly, there was nothing really original or entertaining here.
Bonus star for using the word fluffernut in a sex scene. That was unexpected. The cover for this is boring too, it really needs to be more crazy or horrifying, I’ve seen so many really disturbing or wacky covers for these but this one doesn’t even look like erotica. Anyhoo, I don’t know how to rate this. I wish it had leaned into the comedy and been 100x more creative. This author missed the memo on how to write these. The whimsy, the camp, the jokes, the satire? This had none of that. It was just regular MFM except the dudes were made of marshmallow 🤷🏼♀️.
The funniest part of this is the author’s note thanking her family for their support so she could follow her authorial dreams… I died laughing, but was I supposed to? Thanks mom.
To quote my husband, "So, instead of Netflix and chill, it was Mallow and Swallow?" 💀💀💀 I actually can't - reaction video will be posted tonight. I'm actually dead, lmao.

Should I read in order? This is a stand alone short story.
Basic plot: Cece hasn’t had peeps since her bad experience at 6 years old. But one more taste can’t hurt...
Give this a try if you want: - contemporary setting - heroine works at a paper selling company - M/F/M - you have a disturbing craving for peeps/REALLY love marshmallow fluff - 1 full steamy scene but it’s most of the book (and some praise kink) - heroine overcomes her peep trauma
Ages: - Not mentioned
First lines: “Come on, Cece. Just try one,” Miranda pleaded from her seat five feet away from mine in our shared cubicle, a gliterring bonbon of a marshmallow held aloft for me.
A threesome with some peeps. Why not? I deserve an Easter present too.

Extra stuff like what my review breakdowns mean, where to find me, and book clubs
Full break down on what my ratings above mean here: Overall: How I felt about it everything considered! Readability: How ‘readable’ was the book? Did I fly through it? Did I have to tell myself to pick it back up repeatedly? Were any passages confusing? (I will probably score like (1) is literally unreadable due to formatting/typing errors, etc (2) There were lots of errors that made it difficult to read OR It was extremely confusing and I had to reread passages to make sense of it OR I disliked it so much I had to bribe myself to keep reading (3) I didn’t really want to keep reading and would have preferred to abandon the read and start something else OR some minor continuity issues/confusion (4) I liked it fine, maybe a minor error or 2. I was happy to pick it up when I had time. (5) I never wanted to put this down. I thought about it when I wasn’t reading it. I hid in the bathroom from my kids to read. I threw inappropriate food at my children for dinner so I could read instead.) Feels: Totally subjective to each person but did the book give me any tingles? Any butterflies? Did it rip my heart out (in a good way?) Emotional depth: How well do I feel I know the characters at the end? How much did I feel their emotions throughout the story? Sexual tension: Again, subjective, but how strong was the wanting and longing to me between the characters? A book might have strong sexual tension without a single touch. Romance: Was there romance? Did romantic things happen? This can be actions/words/thoughts of the characters and again is subjective. Sensuality: This is how the intimate scenes are written. Kisses and sexual scenes – how sensual were they? Were they on the mechanical side? Was there emotional pull tied in? Were the details explicit or flowery? These are subjective but generally (1) too short to get a good judgement (2) not all what I'm looking for - very vague or flowery prose (3) either not explicit enough or not enough emotional pull (too mechanical/physically descriptive without the emotions) (4) what I love in a scene (5) absolute perfection - perfect balance of emotional longing and explicit descriptions Sex Scene Length: How long the bedroom scenes are (generally (1) is 1-3 sentences (2) is a few paragraphs to a page-ish (3) is about average, a few pages (4) more well developed scenes, quite a few pages with descriptions (4) the majority of the book takes place in the bedroom. This is always hard to tell for me on audio! Steam Scale: Generally, each flame is a scene. If scenes are super close together I sometimes combine them. If a scene is super short or so vague I don’t know what’s happening, I don’t count it. There’s some levels of grey but generally the number of flames is how many sex scenes there are (I max out at 5 so I’ll put a + after if there’s more than that)
Do it for the laughs. It’s cannot get over what I just read, but I was laughing and snorting so hard at the absurdity. I LOVED IT. 🤣😂 I needed this laugh.
2.5 stars. This may be a new low for Peter Topside. Here I am, supposed to be working, and I'm reading a book about banging life-sized Peeps? Well, it looks like those chocolate covered eggs aren't the only thing filled with marshmallow this year. I always thought that Charleston Chews were the most sexual candy option. Or those naughty Sugar Daddies. Once I saw a girl put a lollipop in her butt and eat it. I dunno. It's all subjective. But I really find the most bizarre stuff on the internet. My brain is just destroyed nowadays with all of the filthy stuff I watch on a daily basis. Crazy thing is that I enjoyed the writing here and the premise had me laughing for days. But the sex was sooo short. It was good and all, but just extremely brief. Like this was 21 pages and should have been 15 pages of sex, 3 of lead up, and 1 page of self-reflection for our lead, Cece. Oh, and another page for some links to buy Peeps on Amazon in bulk. It just makes sense that way. Fun read, but needed less stuff and more fluff. Did that pun work?
I hecking LOVE peeps ok? So when I saw the preorder for this I was sold. I even saved it for peep season so I could eat those sugary little bunnies while savoring this read. It did not disappoint. Confectionary c*ck, marshmallow fluff spunk. Yes please. Gimme gimme. Fun short hot holiday read.
If you don't like peeps, you'll love them when you read this.
If I hate having my hands all sticky when I eat some candy, I can’t even explain the discomfort I’d feel to touch a marshmallow that turned into a man and wants to put his anatomy all over my shit, NO. 🥴
Girly pop had a one sided rivalry towards peeps. Can you blame her though?.. Despite all odds, she persevered and faced her fear. This story goes to show, you face your fears and you might just find the one thing you’re missing in life. 6 feet tall marshmallow men, with rock hard abs and a choreographed dance of .. well you can find that out all on your own. Careful though, you might find yourself feeling like a rotisserie chicken. - and this was exactly what you’d expect to read 😂
Content/Trigger Warnings: Abandonment, vague implications of childhood trauma, vague mentions of an implied accident, mention of night terrors, discussions of mental health, scene of an explosion
I read this so my friends didn't have to! And I did it... I read it... Now I find myself questioning my life choices for having read this very short story. Honestly, I tried to do this for the laughs and the fun time except that wasn't the case. By the 60% mark I was not only cringing, but almost threw up on my phone because the sex scenes were just not it/so bad and some of the quotes were just as awful. Props to those who have read this story and had a blast with the cringey tale inside.
That aside, it felt really odd to have the first 50% of this story (keep in mind this is only 21 pages long) so saturated with such heavy themes of mental health, an implied accident of the mc's mother that traumatized the mc yet we have no idea what the accident was, the child abandonment stuff was at least semi-explained but yet felt out of place due to no full connection with everything else we're told. It was like the author was trying to formulate a cohesive backstory for our main character, but couldn't put everything together in a way that it would all make sense.
However, this book did get an extra star due to it's using the word 'fluffernut' and I died of laughter for about five minutes. That was so unexpected, charming, and hilarious, and probably about the only moment where I found myself laughing about this book.
Overall, rating this story was really difficult because it did technically accomplish what it was supposed to do, a Peeps marshmallow bunny erotica that's a whole lot of cringe. On the other hand, I kind of wish I could bleach this story from my brain and eyes, get back the time I spent on it, and I wish it played a lot more into the comedy aspect instead of trying to be steamy. One thing is for certain, I think this book ruined marshmallows for me, don't know if I'll ever be able to eat them again or look at them without getting nauseous, and it definitely ruined the way I'll look at Peeps marshmallows going forward. I can honestly say I have regrets and I don't recommend.
All thoughts, feelings, experiences, and opinions are honest and my own.
Cecelia hates marshmallows, they remind her of abandonment. Unfortunately, like most people, she's peer pressured daily into eating them. Deciding to give in and microwave two, she's shocked to find them materialise into "two incredibly sexy marshmallow bunny men".
Soon we find out what happens when the 'how many marshmallows can you fit in your mouth' game gets out of hand.
My thoughts in no particular order: 🍬 I never thought the words "marshmallow goo" could ever cause such a visceral reaction from me. 🍬 I'm not a doctor, but it sounds like a fungal infection waiting to happen? 🍬 I, too, would probably fall for a giant marshmallow man as soon as he uttered the words "good girl". 🍬 It really is a good time to be vegan right now.
I congratulate Cecelia for overcoming her fear of marshmallows. Unfortunately, it did coincide with me gaining a fear of them.
Surely I shouldn't be rating this out of 5 right? It's like 30 pages long.
I don’t know whether I’m laughing or crying. If I wrote a novel about how this traumatized me, it would be longer and a better read than this book. I’m never trusting TikTok KU recommendations ever again, and I don’t want to see a peep marshmallow or rotisserie chicken any time in the near future. Read at your own risk.
Well. Book club got me reading something weird again and I don’t regret it 😂 Pop two peeps marshmallows in your microwave get two 6 ft tall, jacked marshmallow bunny men for a night of erotic sugary schlong and “fluffernut”. 21 pages of ridiculous-worth the quick read 😂
I would need at least a bottle of wine to talk about this book, if I can even call it that. 27 pages and I feel like I need to bleach my eyes... Can't believe I actually read this.
Please, if you want to not abuse your eyes, stay away from this!!!
Unfortunately, I read this short book expecting it to be something it��s not. The author missed the creativity mark with this story. We’ve got a trauma background centering on Easter candy (or candy in general) that is never fully explored or explained. Then, the FMC decides that she wants to push her trauma boundaries and eat the candy of which she’s scared. This results in the candy coming alive in a way that is glossed over. Instead of being terrified because of her trauma, she’s instantly aroused and has relatively vanilla sex with the now life-sized candy. I love the concept, but the execution left much to be desired. Let’s forget the traumatic past, which is a bummer, not a turn-on, and instead focus on a creative ménage full of a lot more heat, passion, and granulated sugar. Also, not once does the FMC mention pain or a rash developing from the grind of the sugar into her skin. That was almost all I could think about during the sex scene.
