1.0

 it’s a dark book that is full of terribly written characters and an even worse plot line. Could not finish and won’t be going back.

bekreadsbooks's review against another edition

honestly this book was just boring me. so many words with so little happening except the fmc reliving her trauma in extreme detail, the mmc getting mad he wants her, leaves for a month, and continues to have sex with other women. i just couldn’t do it anymore
