With this author it's really hard to predict how the book is going to end and sometimes there aren't plot twists until the very end. Which changes your thoughts on the characters and the overall dynamic of the book. Which is what happened in this book.
I loved all the characters. And the storyline was so well thought out, you can easily tell. The way everything is linked is so satisfying and when you finally find out things that were not said at the start things start to make sense.
The main characters Beyah and Samson,
There were times that I wanted to cry for Beyah because of how much she had gone through but she still managed to be functional and think of other people without drowning in their own grief. And for Samson. His character development was really good. I think he had a lot of demons from his past that he found hard to overcome. Beyah saw this too.
It would be a Colleen Hoover book without some really heavy trauma and with some shocking plot twists. But atleas this ending will make you smile.

The characters age seemed too young to be a book for adults. They should have been older. I did like how the author conveyed not to judge a book by its cover and the examples and development of the characters showed that. Slight romanization of abuse.
