This book was well written with an intriguing plot and interesting characters. It lost me though because of the heavy incest subplot. I don't care if they're "technically not related cause they're step siblings" it's gross and ruined this book for me. The weak justification that her stepfather technically never adopted her is not okay. Every other aspect was well formed, and I will forever love Ren, but come on, there is no reason that needed to be part of this. Not to mention the stepbrother is possessive, aggressive, and borderline rapey. Fantastic writing, wish it was put to better use.
