Why I put myself to this?💀💀
God this is not like the first one.

The first half of the book I wasn't able to read, was TO MUCH, to much graphic, to much specific, just to much- overall awful. Do not read it seriously. it's not dark romance,it's  just all of the details of a gangue rape.

The second half of the book was basically the first book again. love it.

ADVICE: u do not need to read the first half (0-250pages) of the book to understand the second (250-500pages) so DO NOT READ it seriously. CHECK THE TW.

This book is frustrating because it's entertaining... But also really screwed up. Like... Really screwed up. I don't recommend it.
