2.25

 
Like a 2.05
I think I have realized that these type of dark romance MMCs are not for me.
I liked Molly more than I liked Adeline.
Molly had a lot of grit to her and really tried hard to put down boundaries (even tho some men said no)
Her story and character growth was nice though! I think that’s why I even gave it just over a 2.
I really resonated a lot with Molly and how she sees herself, as broken and damaged and not worth loving.

This book has so many trigger warnings it’s a long ass grocery list. I suggest preparing yourself cause it gets uncomfortable.

I enjoyed this book I just felt like it could have been longer and there could have been more romantic not smutty scenes with her and Cage I like the character well enough and the flashbacks were oh so interesting but it went from flashbacks to smut back to back to back to the end

I love this universe and author... but I won't lie- I was kind of disappointed... We were perfectly set up for another Hunting Adeline type story..

Instead, everything was just.... skipped? I felt like so much was glossed over. I didn't have the best connection to cage & I don't understand her leaving Layla the day before she was starting over in a nice new life.... She could have easily taken Layla with her and had her name changed.

Anyways, with all the complaints- I did genuinely enjoy the book. Molly was amazing and gave a good look into how trauma taints you for years to come.

Her inability to distance herself from her past is so familiar to so many trauma survivors. I loved the reaction of Molly meeting Layla and her adoptive parents. It was a realistic view at how reunification can be tough on everyone involved.

and ofc, the book was SEXY.
