I’m torn on rating the book because of the thoughtlessness of the CW situation, but I decided to rate it as just the contents of the story and settle for leaving appropriate CWs on here and the mini-rant above.
This book ripped my heart right out. Devastating and emotional, full of pain and angst but also discovery and joy. Be prepared to read both books of this duology together as this book ends on a cliffhanger with no HEA/HFN. The next book does pick up right from the scene at the end. The writing is a little odd at times, and learning this was the author’s debut makes that make sense. The vibes are perfect though. For this book. The next one…. well. It’s *weird.* I’ll deal with that later though…
