Depression and sex. This book disturbed me by all the sex I went into it not knowing. It kept me intrigued but it also made me feel depressed because the whole thing was unsettling. Check trigger warnings there is a lot. There is also a decent amount of romance. I predicted it when I read it but I thought it would be Floyd’s sperm. Overall 3.5 stars.

Interesting storyline but becomes somewhat predictable by the middle of the book. Not exactly a suspense read. But still a decent enough read. Not bad but not extraordinary.
