***Check trigger warnings before reading***

I’m not even sure how to describe this. Only that its main POV is the reason I stuck with it. This is not a happy story, but the way Nugent tells it is intriguing. I personally didn’t care for the ending, though I understand why, arc-wise, it worked out in such ways. But I was hoping for a bit more…satisfaction after going through so many emotions with the main POV. Even though it’s an interesting read, I warn it does have a disturbing foundation and a troubling arc, so check TWs before you read it. 

I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrators did a great job of bringing the characters to life.
