This is a really good book, although not for everyone as mayn’t aspects of this book are intense. It covers a lot of dark topics. Many trigger and content warnings attached to this book.

Just because you put trigger warnings doesn’t magically make what’s in it okay. And it’s poorly written to top it off. Please don’t read this I only finished it out of spite

massive trigger warning he rapes her multiple times once with a gun but the author has the characters be like it’s not a big deal because she “enjoyed it” half way through. Also said she deserved it because she antagonized him.

WRITING A FULL REVIEW LATER
To paraphrase Tyra Banks “It’s so bad I want to give you a zero. But that’s not possible, so I give you a 0.25.”

I read for the hype. I found it to be kinda boring, like i knew it was a stalker romance but i did not feel invested in the characters or romance at all. I did like it, just not sure if it's enough to read the next one.
