0.5

The author is cavalier in her handling of traumatic topics. She lacks depth and maturity to broach these subjects.

CHECK THE TRIGGERS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Even if you love to go in blind like I do check the triggers on this one.

dark emotional sad medium-paced

1.5

I know that there are different books for different people but this really was not for me. I know books can make us feel all the feels but this one was really very depressing almost all the way through. I gave 1.5 stars rather than 1 because it did have me hoping for Salem and Thayer there for a bit. I saw there is a book 2 but I have no desire to put myself through stuff like that again.
