The title could easily be Trauma: Everyone is Dealing Something and Trauma Bonding Through Fucking. 

Didn’t think I’d be into the whole sharing thing but it was done in a way that it was more of a progression than sharing per.

Made me wanna cry sometimes but was also nice and spicy. Honestly, I kinda wish it was a smidge longer to really explore everyone’s trauma. I’ve decided I am a huge fan of Penelope Douglas. This lady is WILD and I’m here for it.

Content warnings galore. This is taboo, extremely graphic. Might as well be an abuse 101 instruction manual.

Absolutely everyone in this book needs therapy. Including the author.

other than that, I was really hoping for a Mirai/Jake sequel

DID NOT FINISH: 20%

can't even remember if that's the percentage i was at, i just rage quit and deleted it. one of the brothers tried to

fucking rape

the girl WHO IS SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD and not only do the characters act and try to convince her that it's normal but the author makes the girl say

"oh but for a moment there i wanted it"

fuck that, fuck this book, and fuck this author for ever writing this. this is completely irresponsible and it's baffling to me that this book is in the "romance" category. and what i mentioned isn't even the start of it. yes, "uncle jake", it is fucked up of you to think of and picture your 17 year old niece (putting a "step-" before that doesn't make her less your responsability)

fucking someone

when you were supposed to take care of her after her fucked up parents both commited suicide. what's wrong with people who read this shit and even recommend it?
