Everyone always says how much they love this series, but they never mention just how freaking disturbing it is. Like, there's an on-page rape scene (the end of it, but the description is pretty obvious as to what happened) and really dark discussions of past trauma.
There's a violently arophobic passage in the middle that caught me completely off guard. Again, something nobody ever mentions.
I still barely see the main couple's attraction, and I've looking for it because that's all anyone ever seems to talk about when they mention this trilogy. Two books in and there isn't much to go on. I get that it's supposed to be slow burn, but this is almost non-existent burn... At this rate, it would take 2 more books for it to be somewhat believable if they ever get together.
So yeah, it's addictive, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I… I can’t wait to start the next one, that’s for sure.
Look up the trigger warnings before hand, this book goes a bit (a lot) harder than the first one, so Dx
I don’t really know what to say, the story is insane, the characters go through a lot more this book than the first one. And we get to meet them a bit more. Insights on the lives of all characters, specially Kevin and Andrew’s, get the reader through the plot and make the twists make sense and be predicted just in time with Neil 🥺
Neil, poor Neil, boy needs a hug :((((

I just put all the content warnings in the ‘Graphic’ section because this series basically has all of them in your face at one point or another. WARNING! This book shows a graphic sexual assault scene! Book 1 mostly implies it happening in a character’s past but in this book there is an actual scene! Please be careful!!
