Compelling. This kept me hooked - not just to see what happened next in their lives, but to understand the characters both as individuals and a couple. Really well-written.

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.
