Um.. um.. triggers. This story has a lot of triggers that many will not be able to handle. So turn away now if you can't handle it.
If you are the few like me that braved this thought provoking, heartbreaking love story you're in for a wild ride. And I'll see you on the other side.
It won't be easy and it won't be fun all the time but when you see the beauty break through; your heart will sing along with your soul. You will cry! I mean heartbreaking cries that will leave you emotionally raw. But the end game is all worth it.
Beauty lies at the end even in darkness.

I can't explain Yeo or Kadence to you. You have to experience them to understand them. Life is never clean cut. It's twisted and at times heartbreaking but when it's good. It's really good.

Webster takes you into the bowels of mental and physical abuse. Abuse that sickening to the point you want to puke.
Nothing written here is for shock value; it's a deep understanding that strength and healing comes from walking in the shadows and facing the demons that live there head on. She explains how no one can go it alone. You have to have love and support to heal.
It won't be easy. And it won't be fast. But it will be worth it.

So if you can see beauty in the shadows, love from a far and understanding where most won't. Read this book.

Holy fuck. This book is absolutely incredible. It tackles such huge huge issues with such amazing grace and understanding. This book is definitely not for everyone and contains a very very heavy subject matter.  I read the whole thing in just under three hours, I did not put it down in single time. I literally feel it in my soul, the good and the ugly parts of it. The beauty of unconditional love in the horror of  unfathomable trauma, wrapped together in such a well written way that is so empathetic to the protagonist. I have never read a book like this before ever, and honestly I hope I never do again because nothing can top the way this book was written for this very specific mental illness. This book is so beautiful, I’m at a loss of words to describe the emotional roller coaster that this book just put me on. It is everything I’ve ever wanted from a book, but I did not realize it’s everything I wanted from the book until I read it. This is just absolutely incredibly truly one of the best books I’ve ever read. 

Am I the only one who can’t stop crying.
