sinnybuns's review against another edition

Honestly this book is just far too triggering for me. I’m very much invested in the characters and the romance, and I really wish I could keep reading but the plot is just too triggering.

I devoured this book. This is not for the faint of heart, however, if you are strong enough, it is a great read. Dare I say one of my top 5 this year.  Pam Godwin is a master at writing. The writing even elevates the smut. There are many triggers in this book (SA, graphic violence,… you name it.) I had to skip a paragraph or so that detailed SA. Nonetheless, I could not put this book down. I feel like I know the characters. I know I’m going to be in a reading slump after this.  I would recommend a thousand percent.
