Reading a romance really hasn't been my thing for a while but this isn't your typical romance. The book was written well but I don't think I actually liked it. Parts were very detailed when describing the sex. I think the main "plot" of this book was the relationship, where usually in romances it is a sub plot. The ending was very well done, albeit a bit abrupt. I really hated the diary entries.

This book is a very realistic portrayal of domestic violence and the reasons so many people stay with their abuser.

Don’t get me started T-T
I was more interested in the literal flowers on her front doorstep than I was in the plot or characters.
