4.0

My favorite part of this book was that there was no third act miscommunication conflict! It is a trope I actively hate, and in my opinion, there really is nothing better than healthy communication. I loved this debut and I can't wait to see what the author does next! This book won't be for everyone. It contains potentially triggering content and has taboo elements. My only complaint really is how the timeline is shown through the story. But it was still an enjoyable read!
