What I love about her books is her ability to talk about complex subjects in a serious manner but also still bring romance and love into the story. It makes the story feel more realistic and I can imagine make more people feel seen. This book deals with emotional and physical abuse while also tackling workplace politics that anyone in the corporate or otherwise world has to deal with.
I love Naya and Jake's banter and bad jokes. Nothing is more attractive than that. Jake always was incredible to her and sometimes I don't think a man like that exists. I thought the storyline moved in a realistic timeline and Davis' storyline gave me thriller vibes. We even got to see even a year into the future. I would love a check-in with Naya and Jake at some point.

Naya is extremely relatable to me. She is a fierce, intelligent woman. I appreciated that Denise Williams wrote her as such because of her struggle with past DV. It shows readers that DV can happen to anyone. It doesn't happen to just women who are "weak" or "dumb" or whatever other stereotypical response you can think of. Please be vigilant not only of our relationship, but the relationships of those closest to you. Jake's unhealthy past relationship is also discussed. Not just women can experience DV.
I highly recommend this book to everyone. Denise Williams has officially become an instant read/buy for me! I can't wait to read more from her.
