Ok this book is only getting 4 stars because of the ending. And the fact that the suspense was so well done.

BUT

I also couldn’t ignore how this book hinges on ableism. I wish the author had chosen a different trope or maybe tackled it in a more creative way to avoid its inherent ableism. Even addressing her characters’ ableism would have been great. But without any pushback within the text, it feels like the author just doesn’t have a great understanding of disability.

Check the content warnings before you read!

Totally engrossing. The premise is not the most original, but the author executed it beautifully. 

Lots of sex. It’s my first Colleen Hoover book, so maybe they’re all like this, but it did seem gratuitous at times.

This is one of the hardest books I’ve ever read. There were points where I HAD to put it down and walk away bc it was so dark. 
I’ve never read a book that made me feel so disgusted and sick to my stomach and made me cry like this. There absolutely should be a trigger warning before the book even starts. 
There’s no romance to me in this book. It’s smut, which I’m okay with, while others aren’t. 
If you have triggers of child death and abuse, this book is NOT for you.

This book was INTENSE, so much so I had trouble putting it down despite the very dark nature of it. A trigger warning should definitely be the first thing people see before starting it.
