Holy shit, I finished a book. AND, holy shit this book was dark but I loved it. Loved the age gap romance and the two main characters. Surprises galore. Did I mention it was dark? Check out the content warnings for sure. I will be reading more of this author.

The story was different and interesting. But a little too dark for me to want to read it again or recommend it. I appreciated the twists 

Trigger warnings should have been stated at the beginning of the book.
