I’m not even sure why I started this book because the first one wasn’t good. Epic levels of toxicity and hypocrisy. Neither of the main characters were likable. In fact, I didn’t find any of the characters likable. The male main character is allowed to get away with an absurd amount of abuse because, what, he’s attractive? The inner monologue of both main characters was annoying and lacked any depth or reflection. Overall the writing was poor, repetitive, and seemed to aim for shock value rather than any substance.

This book is challenging, and I truly did not enjoy reading the content it held, though I did for the sake of finishing out their story. I realize not everyone heals from trauma the same way, but I didn’t love how the protagonist was forced to heal from hers. All in all, I think the first is much better. For me, this was triggering beyond belief and brought more sadness than enjoyment; I am grateful the author is adamant about warnings because it’s needed. Also - knife play, not my thing, so that added to my dislike. And the fact that most of the kidnappers were Latino or described to be, pretty offensive.
