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 absolutely heart wrenching, especially the first half oml. I read the trigger warning but I was not expecting THAT. It was so beautifully done and brought so much light to survivors of domestic abuse. I’m gonna need a comfort show after this but one of my favorites, for sure <3

3.0

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.

I need to gather my thoughts but honestly, I hate this story for being so good. It’s downright painful to read but also hard to put down and the ending was everything I could’ve hoped for after the first part. It was rough and heartbreaking and important and unfortunately relatable for a lot of people.
This is not for folks looking for a light read.
