It wasn’t bad but I didn’t see the authors note before reading and there was a lot of on page graphic domestic violence. I had no idea what I was getting into. I think the story could have been told without so much on page violence.

This was a really rough read and I'm not sure I'd recommend it to everyone. Major trigger warnings for domestic violence, rape, abuse, imprisonment and child endangerment. I was in a bad place myself reading part of this book, but had to finish it to make sure the heroine got through to the other side.

That said, the writing is amazing and quotable. The author obviously did extensive research because the circumstances and emotions and decisions ring true. If you are in a dangerous situation at home, call the Domestic Abuse Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233).

Check the trigger warnings bc it is pretty graphic and I did not and was therefore real surprised and not at all prepared. 

At one point the fmc gets raped at gun point (actually several times), she gets beaten, isolated, degraded and basically forced to have her baby and be with her abuser

I gave it 3stars at first but I realised that I was waiting for the book to become enjoyable for most of the book and it only got enjoyable at the 70ish mark therefore 2 stars
