Worst thing I've ever read. Need to preface this by saying I read this for a challenge and it turned out to be even worde than anticipated. Toxic, creepy, and incestuous (not to mention the other weird implications); it is also horribly written. I'm begging the author to learn about writing longer sentences. No real character development whatsoever and no diversity either cause they're fucking related. Very concerned about the SA that's never adressed. This would be way better as a atockholm syndrome thriller.

Wtf did I just listen to? I think this author needs to serve jail time… and so do I for finishing the entire book. 
I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this book to anyone I love.

Listen... this was some disturbing, disgusting, hillbilly Alabama, weird, problematic af BS. 
Don't ask why I gave it 4⭐️ because I have no idea. 
I'm ashamed to say I liked it. I don't agree with it. I cringed my way through and turned green more than once, but it was like a train wreck I couldn't look away from. 
🤷🏼‍♀️
If this was irl I would call the police 😆

What was that?! I went into this book loosely knowing what it was about, and let me just say—I was notprepared. That’s not to say I didn’t have a good time, but… goodness gracious! This entire book was one gigantic red flag 🚩 after another. I don’t even know how to process it. I’m in shock.

Let me just start by saying: I didn’t fully like any of these characters. If I could pick and choose pieces of their personalities and delete the rest, sure, maybe. But as they are? I dunnoooo… And I mean honestly, the whole town needs help lol. Noah? I thought he was going to be a cute, lovable, golden-retriever-type guy, but he was so aggressive anytime he didn’t get his way. And speaking of aggressive… HELLO? Kaleb? SIR?? We listen and we tell the judge 👨‍⚖️. Lowkey, I started skipping scenes with him until close to the end because he was just so unessecarily aggressive, which might explain why I was so confused about the final choice 😅. And Uncle Jake? Yeah, he’s just… Uncle Jake. He’s got issues. We know this 🙂‍↕️. Tiernan… I can’t decide if you’re the luckiest girl or the most unluckiest girl lol. 

Anywho, I could go on forever about all the things that left me spiraling, but in conclusion: I read it. I saw it. I experienced it. I am forever traumatized. But somehow? I had lots of fun!
