I loved the writing and was immediately and easily rooting for each main character. I thought the changing POVs was used well, but I felt that the book had a bit too much telling and not enough showing. Hart clearly has talent and I appreciated that she didn't paint every male character the same (although nearly all were scum). The ending felt a bit rushed together and I wish there was bit more mystery. While I really enjoyed this and devoured it in a couple of days, I would never recommend this without strongly suggesting taking a look at the content warnings. Some of this book was difficult to read and I'm grateful that I didn't go into this book blindly.
