It took me a while to get through just because of life but once I picked the book up again, I didn’t want to stop. Very dark, sexy, morally confusing a bit. Great book!

This was a difficult read in the sense that some parts were very triggering for me. I had to take a break more than once. I can say that the character and plot development was great and I really enjoyed the relationships between all the characters.

Despite how extremely dark this book is, it holds a place in my heart. The resilience Addie has and the portrayal of PTSD brought up emotions from my own past I wasn’t quite aware I was ready to face head on yet. A very healing read for me, which is probably not what I or anyone else would expect. Either way, I loved this book, and it’s getting a reread at some point so I can annotate the heck out of it.
I also would’ve rated 5 stars but I felt the conclusion was rushed.
