  • This was an easy read, no brain power was required 
  • I found the
    fictional dementia where the author made up a new type of dementia pretty insulting. I’ve seen friends and family mentally leave before they physically do so, and this just felt like a slap in the face so I can’t imagine how much worse I’d have felt if it was someone even closer to me
  • The female main character is in fact not bad or a sinner 
  • Don’t worry the male main character is in fact bad and probably fits the definition of a sinner

DID NOT FINISH: 85%

I held on long enough!!! Not for me. I just couldn’t bring myself to finish.  The whole storyline just made me so depressed and her swearing with bird words?? Just the love interest thought so poorly of her for the most part and her character made me sad in a way that ruined my experience reading this. Will not continue reading this series. All the situations in this book are distressing in some way

Second rating: 3
First rating: 2.75
I sat down and really pondered what to rate this book. The rating might change.... it might stay the same. Idk.

I did not particularly enjoy the first 60-70% of this book. It wasn't bad but idk I spent a good portion of it mentally telling Rory she's a victim and needs to somehow magically get out of her situation. 

The last 30% tho... ate that shit up like I get what the dark romance girls love . . . A Lil bit. 

I wanted to make this a 3 star so bad but like the handful of references that she's young enough to be his daughter, and other things did not sit right with me. 

Somehow Angelo is simultaneously a horrible man and yet no one is doing it like him.

This book did achieve something tho, the fact that I'm conflicted on how to rate is proof enough because it's not bad enough to deserve anything less than a 3 but it's not good enough to sit with my other 3 stars yk. 

I had a time in those last percentages so maybe I'll just rate that and give it a nice 2.75. . Maybe
