Lots of red flags that were ignored. But I absolutely loved reading this book and watching each character grow and become adults basically. Needed more spice

I have never felt compelled to leave a review for a book until now. I was nervous to read this book after seeing such mixed reviews about its content. I recently discovered Penelope Douglas and made quick work of both Punk 57 (which I liked) and Birthday Girl (which I loved). Credence was definitely not an easy read due to the heavy topics and taboo relationships, but I couldn’t put this book down!! It was emotional and dark and intense and quite honestly one of the most heartfelt and genuine romances I’ve ever read. This story provides an emotionally raw visual of loving fiercely and unapologetically.

I would not recommend someone read this without reading the content warnings first!

Est-ce que je le déteste ou je l'aime? Ou bien est ce que je me déteste d'avoir apprécié? Je ne suis qu'une victime dans cette histoire. Ils méritent tous la prison.... Ou une thérapie... Ou les deux. J'ai une chose à dire à l'autrice: Girl. Are you ok? Quand est ce que dans ta vie, tu t'es dit "moé je vais romantacize la pédophilie, l'inceste et toutes autres formes d'abus?"
