1. I’m actually shocked that a book that has prevalent mental health themes would blatantly call a clearly schizophrenic woman crazy and insane. Outside of that, Zade’s methods to help Addie cope w her trauma are just… not good and ok
2. It’s so corny how many times Zade calls himself a god. The biblical references got too old too fast, and honestly really creepy
3. The scene where Zade tries to force Adeline into staying with him by threatening her with pregnancy when she very obviously does not want kids is one of the more disturbing ways he sexually assaults Addie throughout the series. Him saying that he would be the one to take out her IUD made me want to die
4. This book is so fucking dark that I don’t even understand how H D Carlton came up with it all while staying sane. The content is actually HORRIFIC
5. The continuous justification of Zade’s actions towards Addie in the first book is so disappointing, yet I think that this book did a better job explaining why Adeline felt attracted to him
Overall, this is a 2.75 stars from me

It is hard to rate Zade as a book boyfriend. He is not a good person - which he openly admits - but he is also so kind to Adeline, but then you go back to thinking about how he forced himself into her life by stalking her for months and then breaking into her home. ITS COMPLICATED!! I saw that the author is going to write Sibby a book and I am very excited (and absolutely terrified) to read that and learn about her even more. Sibby was great comedic relief - and also caused so much concern - that I think her book will be insanely darker and also so heartwarming. WHAT A MIX OF EMOTIONS!
I guess you can judge me for giving this book 5 stars, but I am not opposed to reading it again and I bought them because I had to have them. It did something to me and I will answer for those to God and only God.
Thank you, lol.
