I have never been left more high and dry by a book. I wanted this book to be good SO badly. I wanted it to be queer and sexy and slightly more wild than your normal vanilla smut romance. Unfortunately this one really missed the mark for me, Violet is unlikeable, as is almost everyone else. The manipulation of Violet by the other characters was awful and from the beginning this book just made me sad. There was a lack of consent in most of the sex scenes and the only sex scene i enjoyed was the one right at the END. Which I almost didn’t get to because I really wanted to DNF this one. The plot is lacking and I didn’t root for Violet at all. This book also has some big trigger warnings that I should’ve looked at before I read it. The ending of this book is the ONLY redeeming factor for me.
