This book is like the Hunchback of Notre Dame except Esmeralda ends up with Frollo and he turns out to be somewhat of a decent human. 


 - I thought we would be starting with Noah and moving up to Jake but OKAY LET'S START THERE I GUESS
- I love that Tiernan has practice at shooting and isn't just a prodigy. It's refreshing.
- Okay just end up with the dude who sexually assaulted you the minute you met and called you a slut multiple times regardless of the fact that he's also slept with multiple people. Not to mention he's also your cousin. 


Quotes

 -"'Reality is fickle, isn't it?' I ask. 'We can get used to almost anything.' We all acclimate. We learn, we resolve, we come around - it's not that anything really gets easier or harder. We just get better at rolling with it."
- "Kaleb has been punishing the world his whole life, almost like me. Unfortunately, the world moves on, and then it just becomes punishing yourself."

This book was very Interesting in the start of it but it made me want to keep reading to see what’s gonna happen next , I didn’t expect it to take the turn that it did , the ending was very good too

SPOILERS!!!


“The notches go all the way to the buckle,” I point out. “I’m flattered, but my waist isn’t that small.” Noah leans in, whispering, “But your wrists are.”

Okay, so... controversial take, but I liked this book. Definitely isn't for everyone. Check the trigger warnings for sure. The character development and spice were INSANE.

challenging emotional reflective tense

The only good thing about this book is the playlist. Five chapters in the main character is almost r*ped by her cousin but it’s written off as “you’re just too beautiful and delicious I couldn’t help myself can you blame me”????? The MC was also not of age when this happens but the cousin is and it’s written off as ”she´ll be of age in a couple months” ok??

Anyway this book is so toxic. A young girl has to move to her dads brother and his two sons and when winter comes to that town no one can leave because of the weather. So winter comes, and they all come. They’re so manipulative to her and that’s basically the plot. It’s not a dark romance its just abuse after abuse. And the fact that they all openly talk about ”sharing a girl”?? And they use the same nickname for her?
