Content warnings galore. This is taboo, extremely graphic. Might as well be an abuse 101 instruction manual.

Quite a challenging read.  Not so much because of the step family vibe, but more because of a young lady who was quite impressionable and ending up in the situation she was in. Very sad beginning. But the ending was quite sweet.  Don't get what everyone sees in Uncle Jake, I was rooting for Noah.

Book boyfriend:
Jake 2/5
Noah 4/5
Caleb 3/5

Spice: 5/5 🥵 
Plot: 3/5
