Toxic relationship, SA triggers, assault. He burns down her literal house and she is just so fine about that. It's gotta be a "No" from me dawg, sorry.

There are a lot of things I hated about this book. I don’t even know if I liked it, really. 

But I was somehow still addicted to turning each page, and will be continuing with the series. 

Basically, I need therapy as much as every single character in this book does but I relate to none of them and hate them all.
