This book is frustrating because it's entertaining... But also really screwed up. Like... Really screwed up. I don't recommend it.

4.5

I thought this book was ok i had major anxiety for really the whole book this was the most anxiety I’ve gotten from any book ever i came so close to dnf this i have this thing where i only like for the main characters to have sex together and be together so when she got kidnapped and they actually raped her i got extremely disappointed i was debating wether i wanted to rate this book a three stars or four stars but i settled for four i guess because the ending I definitely enjoyed haunting adeline over this one by a longgggg shot i did find myself enjoying some parts of this book i also did enjoy meeting sibby again ifykyk i also did like the writing of the book the author told allot of details in situations but not to much to the point where your annoyed but yeah overall i rated this book four stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book has explicit detailed descriptions of sex/human trafficking and rape. EXPLICIT. And frequent. It is very difficult to get through. The second half of the book makes up for it but please proceed carefully.

Beware the trigger warnings.
I kinda skimmed the warning page and I was surprised and a little knocked back when the warned things happened first. Incredibly dark, not shying away from the ruthless details to make a realistic story. Addie's struggles were easily felt when I read it, I found myself truly capturing her emotions the whole way through. When she felt weak, or hopeless, I did. When she was strong I felt strong too. It was an emotional, brutal book but I'm so glad I read it, it was something that made me look up at the world I am in.

The author doesn't shy away from the gory details, admirable but very triggering. Please read the warnings and don't partake if you're likely to be triggers. While the book is amazing, the story told is a terrible tragedy, detailed and explained.
