This solidifies my belief that Kennedy Ryan has a real talent for writing love stories that are truly devastating (and I mean that as a compliment). Her books evoke such powerful emotion; they’re always memorable. Her characters (especially the women she writes) are nuanced, and read like real people with real flaws, but most importantly, with deep wells of strength.

This one is no different. Be gentle with yourself and do not read this book if you are triggered by graphic depictions of domestic violence, physical, and/or sexual abuse. There are multiple instance of r*pe on page.
