Couldn't get over how unrealistic the whole thing is. The setting and circumstances, characters, dialogue, the romance. The smut is awkward too.
There's potential but I really don't feel like it was well executed. Unfortunate cause I was really looking forward to this one.

Iβve never written an extensive and well thought out review beforeβ¦ But I believe this book really warrants that to do it justice.
I have never heard of this book or this author before, and decided to read it, simply because it was on Kindle unlimited, and it was relatively short. I was not expecting to find a book as captivating and heart wrenching as this.
This book is in a mental institution and does tackle some pretty heavy topics within this book. I think mental health is so beautifully captured and not once was I made to feel uncomfortable about the way this was discussed. It was thought provoking and gave me such an insight into different mental illnesses and the perception of these.
The family in this book was absolutely insane, and I felt such strong attachments to many of the characters. I love the character, dynamics and friendships, but also the romance was really sweet.
I will say, the reason this book did not get five stars. In my opinion, it dropped in its intensity during the middle and therefore I got a little bit bored. BUT when I say the ending made up for that, I am not lying. The last 25% of this book was crazy.!!! I was hooked and literally could not put it down. In the mystery and crime subplot made this book so much more enjoyable.
Please make sure you have your tissues ready, because when I say I bought like a baby!!!! Definitely an author I am wanting to read more by.

Wow...
I just finished this and I honestly don't know how I feel.
I went in blind on this one which is very unusual for me. The whole way through I was trying to guess where this was going. It kept me engaged the whole way through from the focus on mental health through to the thrilling mystery. I didn't even check the genre so I had no idea if this was paranormal, supernatural, murder mystery or dark romance.
I won't give it away but it was an interesting read and it's nothing supernatural π
I really loved the trio. Watching them grow together, love together and heal together was beautiful. (FYI- This is not a love triangle)
There are very triggering themes so definitely read the warnings before you decide to read this.
Spice level πΆ 3/5

This made mental health and being placed in a psych ward seem like a fun vacation where you can run around and f**k your roommates.
Who was left at the end didnβt make sense. Jericho was wild. Group therapy with forced piano playing in front of everyone was weird. The momβs texts didnβt make sense.
It was like⦠almost spicy and then just left me with blue balls.
