Without giving too much away, some women will do anything to keep a man but find one who actually likes them. 🤦🏽‍♀️

The starting of the book was rather difficult to comprehend and follow but as the book went on it becomes extremely captivating, addicting and pulls you into the story like a finely woven web.

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.

This book has a great mystery to it and it definitely keeps you intrigued. It is a slow burn and the main character is incredibly dull in the beginning. Overall I'm glad I stuck through the first few dry chapters, because it ended up being an extraordinary story.
