jjenkins's review against another edition

HIGHLY TRIGGERING BOOK!! The author should have been much more clear regarding content warnings, because not even 10% into the book there are several extremely triggering events. I will not be continuing this book, and would have much preferred to have known ahead of time what I might encounter. It should be required to list content warnings for books such as this one.

If you are interested in this book, be advices that the author has not clearly and accessibly listed content warnings. This is a highly triggering book from the beginning.

The book is split in two halfs, I knew that upfront, and without that knowledge, I wouldn’t have finished it. 
The first half was a dread to read, extremely slow and the male protagonist extremely self-centered.
I couldn’t see where this was going. 

The second half really made up for that, the female protagonist was way more interesting and the pace was faster as well. 
I would recommend it, but not unconditionally.
