Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire book, I could not predict what was going to happen next. Some very sensitive topics that could upset some readers.

A lot of spicy scenes that really make your jaw drop, but got way more interesting towards the end with the main plot. Some of the dialogue was great, and some was a little cringey as well.
