The cringe level just made it really difficult to read, I almost DNFd half way throught and part of me regrets reading the rest. It was giving 2015 Wattpad vibes and not in a good way. Roxanne is very "im not like the other girls, im a badass, just one of the guys lol" and the guys' personalities were overexaggerated. It felt like it was dragged out way too long and I found myself skimming the last 200 or so pages of the book. Definitely couldve been shorter. Not to mention the ultra-unrealistic feel to it. I get it, it's fiction, but majority of this book is simply not realistic or on par with "mafia/gang". Fair warning, there's a lot - and I mean a lot - of violence and smut in this. Every other scene is either torture/maiming/murder, or smut. It's a bit over the top.
Also, finding out how quickly this all progresses was a shocker. I was surprised at such a fast pace, I thought this took place over the span of maybe a few months.

I appreciate the length of the book especially, because it gave the author ample time to give each character their own back story and personality. Instead of the normal RH cliche where the most interesting thing about the men is that they are hot and they all want the girl, each man is so unique and love Roxy for their own reasons.
......
And yeah that doesn't really change through the whole book haha. Hes unabashedly him and his madness. Still, he was raised by a junkie mother who he loved, despite the fact that she would beat him and sell him for her next hit. He still loved his mother. And he watched her be burned alive, not being able to get to her and save her.
