Wow, this was a tough, but good book. Kennedy Ryan’s writing is amazing at making you experience what the characters are feeling, both good and bad.

Let’s start off with the good feelings. I absolutely love August West! He was basically exactly what Iris needed exactly when she needed him. They were perfect together, once they were given their chance. I love how the ending talked about soulmates, because they are two characters that make me believe in that idea too. I also loved Iris, especially her character growth in the wake of the suffering she endured.

While this book has a lot of triggering content, I think Kennedy Ryan handled it very well. She brought to life the cruelty in this world, but also offered hope in the wake of that cruelty.

It’s a very tough read. Check your trigger warnings. It has a lot of heavy themes like abuse, reproductive coercion, rape, gun violence, etc.

Read content warnings. Do not start this book without reading the content warnings. You need to have a full scope of what you’re getting into, reader. I have been thorough with content warnings. Please read content warnings.
