I’m not even sure why I started this book because the first one wasn’t good. Epic levels of toxicity and hypocrisy. Neither of the main characters were likable. In fact, I didn’t find any of the characters likable. The male main character is allowed to get away with an absurd amount of abuse because, what, he’s attractive? The inner monologue of both main characters was annoying and lacked any depth or reflection. Overall the writing was poor, repetitive, and seemed to aim for shock value rather than any substance.

Man, this book had some extremely heavy moments. The entire first half of the book was weighted with terror and sorrow. But despite the series being smut, the second book is layered with surprising depth.

journey through

abuse, grief and guilt

was just as messy as anyone would expect it to be. It was raw and nonlinear in the way that those experiences would be in real life.
