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

yeah it was a beautiful story but it was unoriginal and it was gruesome for the point of being gruesome and not for the point of the story.

So I want to start my review with this. Everyone likes different things. Objectively this book wasn’t bad, but it sure wasn’t my cup of tea. I couldn’t connect with August or Iris. I felt for Iris, I really did, but the on page SA and abuse was too much for me. I understand why it was on page, but it definitely affected my feelings on this book. If you are someone who really enjoyed this book that is great. I unfortunately did not, and it was hard for me to finish. I also really think there should be a bigger trigger warning in the front of this book. The one that is there didn’t convey what Iris was going to go through. If this is on your TBR, please don’t take my review as negative, and give it a shot. You might enjoy it and it be exactly what you like. Just make sure you go in with open eyes of what is on page and honestly pretty graphic at times.
