If ur a fan of omegaverse with sweet guys, where society is the problem, u’ll probably like this book. 

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. 

Mild spoiler:

what is wrong with Dave in the end of the book, my theory is they have like brain washed him somehow, maybe thats what they did to the “good-guy” politicians? I just don’t think he’d say something like that to Clem, and then just take Josie to that room.

whichdirection's review

medium-paced

2.5

I’m all for mental health discussions/struggles in books but the author’s word choices surrounding her body issues made me v uncomfortable; I also feel like their backstories came out in big trauma dumps rather than naturally revealing.
The beginning called this book cozy and I definitely do not agree with that. I was stressing from beginning to end.

This is all sort of just thinly veiled allegory for the current american political climate…
I wasn’t gonna read the second one and I haven’t decided if I am, but the (very predictable) ending stressed me out so fuckin much I might need to
