This took me FOREVER to finally finish. I had to force myself out of sheer will. Honestly the dark kid situations are awful but honestly it was the characters themselves I couldn’t stand along with the writing and their relationship. Toxic and not in a sexily dark romance redeemable way (at least in my opinion). There was only one spicy scene that I found enjoyable and everything else was just not my cup of tea and unnecessarily long. Overall a let down for me personally.
