Surprising Demisexual rep, I’m the opposite of disappointed.
A/B/O ‘s aren’t my favourite so take my review with a grain of salt.
A little rapey but no where near as much as typical for this genre. I liked the guys and how communicative they r with each other and her. She is very traumatized by her past, and I really want them to kill the government leader guy and her whole family.

Hurt/comfort is a great trope and I understand the FMC was meant to be healing from traumas that would tie into the broader plot. But I don't think this trope was used successfully. There was no character development in the nearly 400 pages I read and it was taking way too long to get to the point. This is part of a duet but it definitely could have been one book.
I wound up skimming most of it by the end because I already knew what was happening - the same insecurities appearing in the exact same way and the MMCs reassuring her in the exact same way, just for her to be insecure about the exact same things and be reassured in the exact same way in the next chapter.

This book at times reads very Wattpad-y and could have used another edit or two for being so repetitive, like we get it Josie has self-esteem issues, but beyond that it's a really solid romance book with a sci-fi/dystopian subplot that kept me glued to my seat.
Onto the next one!

FMC has low self esteem connected to her weight and body image and suffers from binge eating. Internal thoughts concerning this are prevalent. Active body shaming throughout this book from her parents and others. Proceed with caution if you have body image issues or an eating disorder, this book could trigger you.dxisymitch's review
