flylillies's review against another edition

Apparently, this is a romance between a 27 year old man and a 17 year old girl, I don't think she even turns 18 in this book. Yeah, maybe the point is that it's supposed to be bad, but I don't want to continue reading to find out. And even if it was the point to shed light upon grooming, why does everyone I see talking about this book say they love Riley and Charlie together?

I tried reading this book shoot a year ago but put it down because of how heavy it was. I picked it back up and finished it in a few days because it was so welling written, raw, tense, and real. This might be the best portrayal of mental illness, addiction, and a toxic relationship I’ve ever read. However, due to the content, I’d recommend checking the extensive trigger warnings.
