This book turned out to be more raw and edgy than I expected, after reading "Boyfriend Material". That being said, it's about an MC with some serious mental health issues so you've got to expect that, right? 

So yeah, it got pretty dark sometimes but it was tempered by the author's lyrical vocabulary and the beautiful way that things both terrible and wonderful are described. Hard to read at times, I think that what I took away was that things can always change if your heart is willing and you can gather the courage to do so. It's not necessarily redemption, but something a lot like it. 

It's also got some intimate moments in the bedroom, so if be prepared if you need to be. Oh, and alot of f-bombs.

Recommended for fans of Alexis Hall's other work, finding an unlikely champion, and anyone who wants to believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

P.S. I highly recommend the edition with the bonus material, it is a really good add.
