Okay yeah. It’s a really fucking dark romance.
If you’ve had any experience with any of the trigger warnings I would be mindful when or if you choose to read it. The first half of the book if fucking brutal and it’s confronting to think. This friggin happens to people. All in all I still enjoyed it for the literary fiction it is.
And even if the recovery in part 2 is a bit more fast paced than reality would be. I really appreciate the writing of Zade during that period and his awareness of what he does. The second half is just amazingly written.
Even caused me to have a minor identity crisis. With a single quote.
