Mickey has serious issues. Like severals.
And I think we could say the same for Bella.
They complete each other.

Not the best dark romance book I’ve read and there were definitely some things missing in regards to background info/plot but it didn’t effect the storyline entirely so it’s ok to an extent lol.
