I didn’t like how this book was written at first. It took me quite a few chapters to enjoy the way it was written. But once I started getting giddy about Thayer & Salem, I enjoyed it from then on out.

The age gap is odd to me, but something I could look over for the plots sake. I did think he showed a huge paternal role with the gifts and protectiveness of her! 

Check the TW before reading. Death, abuse, sexual assault, adult/minor, etc are all mentioned even if it’s brief!

 This hurts like a bitch!
Did i ignore every trigger warner and read this book thinking it can’t damage me ? Yes. Did it break me ? Also yes.
So please don’t ignore trigger warnings before going into this one.

The age gap (18W & 31M) was hard for me to read. She could’ve been 20 with equally high stakes I feel.
