I’m making this review waaaay to long after I finished this series BUT the main reason why I recommend this is the fact that when you’re reading it you feel like you’re reading one book and not 5, and even now I genuinely cannot tell you when one book ended and when another started and I swear that I remember the whole story (not word for word obviously). The only thing that i didn’t completely like was the ending *******SPOILER****** I feel like the guy was forgiven waaayyy too quickly, like there wasn’t almost any groveling from him and that frustrated me *********END OF SPOILER******** but aside from that everything else was great. I’m gonna copy and put this review in every book from this series :)

"[Her] scars don’t run as deep or painful as mine. One man ruined her. So many more took a piece of me.
But the pain is just the same. Just as scary. Just as unrelenting."
