Ommmggggg I have so many feelings!!

Once again Carter is an asshole but you actually see him start to care for Aria and there are some moments where I actually liked him but then he'll go do some fucked up shit to Aria and I hate him again!! We see more of his trauma which I already knew about from the novella books but it does help me to feel bad a teeny tiny bit.

Aria literally can't catch a break and I feel truly horrible for her. We see more of her trauma and how messed up she is from being isolated and fucked with mentally and emotionally by Carter. This whole book she is balling her eyes out or trying to get drunk. She also has feelings for Carter as well and she cares for him and wants to be able to show him affection but she also hates him for how he treats her and loathes herself for loving him and becoming complicit. Poor girl is just a mess.

I literally feel like I'm Aria because when I start to like Carter for a second I'm like wtf is wrong with you!?!?

I truly still can't tell if Carter actually loves her or if he still just wants to possess her. Yes, he cared more for her and her wishes and gave her more privileges and even admitted his feelings for her were infringing on his decision making but he still suuucks.

And that ending made me want to die.
