challenging dark slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

This was an interesting read.  
While I did enjoy the underlying plot of the book, I was shocked and a bit disappointed in the ending as I didn’t see it coming nor that character being the cause which felt a bit betraying. 

Overall the way in which this book was romance was just too overly sexual for me and I wasn’t a fan of the openly detailed scenes, as they felt a bit too much and wattpad-esque. 

I guess it’s a good rec for those who like dark romance but it’s not for me at all.

I started out not really being able to get into the book. However, as the book progresses, it’s really easy to feel connected with these characters (Not Silas though, he kind of weirds me out lol). I’m also not a very expressive person with books, but as I reached the last five or so chapters, I couldn’t help but start laughing at some points. I even felt a bit relived and proud towards some of the characters and their character development

Detailed drug and alcohol usage, infidelity, and LGBTQ+ scenes only present in few chapters (Mostly only Lawson in which you can skip if uncomfortable as it doesn’t feed the plot much) Car accident has some very detailed scenes
