Bro is a walking contradiction. I had so many problems with this book but I can’t decide if they’re justified considering I read the TWs at the beginning and chose to continue on anyways. I honestly don’t even know why I finished this book because at times I was so triggered that I had an anxiety attack.

If you’ve ever been SA-ed (like me) don’t be stupid (like me) and read this book.

Good grief what did I just read. I enjoyed it for the most part but it's a pretty heavy book. One of the biggest things I struggled with was if Zade is doing all of these things to help women and kids how the hell does he think it's totally cool to stalk Addie. I suppose she kind of likes it but it was very confusing. I'll still read the second one as the first ended on a cliff hanger of course. Trigger warnings galore!

The ending…. I hate it here. Other than that the book is pretty good. The smut is intense beyond words and the mystery with her great grandmothers death had me on the edge of my seat. I’m reading to read the next one 🤭 CHECK TW!!!!!! 🙂
