Well.. if ignoring the sexism, gaslighting, predatory behaviour,  toxic possessiveness, non-consent and the fact that the main character is 17-18… it was okay. i liked the main character, but the guys were a bunch of toxic assholes tbh. Still, the writing and plot was quite alright. I even cried at one point.

The book was overall good. I fully expected her and Noah to get together and when they didn’t I was a little sad. Kalebs character was good don’t get me wrong but I do feel as though some of his actions were uncalled for and ruthless. As far as Jake goes man….. he’s a dilf for sure but like sir that’s your niece. Not to mention Noah was there pretty much every time teiranan would ya know and she was just like yea no i don’t like you. Anyway the more trigger warnings the better I guess.

This book is dark. It's  taboo. It's spicy. It was like watching a car crash, I wanted so badly to look away but I couldn't. I enjoyed the endgame but I do think a lot of the dark/taboo parts of the book could have been cut out. The complex trauma is written really well and overall the plot is okay. If you are a fan of dark (and I mean really dark) romances and can look past the content warnings the romance might be worth it for you. This is not a book for you if you are looking for fluff.
