This book should have a trigger warning list. 

I was waiting for Holden to hit her the entire book, and waiting for “Sky” to realize that she wasn’t experiencing lust for the first time but fight or flight. 

I then got to page 149 where something sinister comes to light and couldn’t read this book word for word anymore. I don’t know if it says something about the predictability but I was able to skip absolute chapters without missing a single important thing. 

Trauma as a plot device seems sloppy but I’m not an author.

A quick read - tragic in parts, very cringey in others. Dark themes and not exactly a literary masterpiece, but it kept me hooked enough to continue reading the series.

This book deserved 5 ⭐️’s because the characters were lovable, except of course Sky’s father. Holder was so respectful of Sky. I loved that. He loved and respected her. Some guys are not like that in the real world (at least in my experiences 😉). So, that refreshing to see. Great book overall, even though I kept getting distracted due to my short attention span. 😅 That’s why it took me five days to finish the book. Hehe. Must be more focused.

I really loved the book but the SA scenes were too much and too graphic for my liking

I went in a but hesitant for this one not sure why. Cause I absolutely loved it. 
It began off slow and I was almost like , this is not for me and was finding it a bit on the boring side but I pushed through and glad I did as it picked up and  BOOM! . I was hooked. 
Very intense, I wanted to know more about Sky and her life what happened, how did this lead to that etc. And those reveals at the end omg. 
But my heart broke a couple of times and I just felt heavy.

This book made me realize things in my life that I knew deep down I just didn't want to admit or be true. It helped me realize it's not all that bad though. It gave me hope.
