Instead of loving this and giving it 5 stars, I hated it so much I give it 5 stars. Quite possibly the most horrific I have ever read.The mc was horrible, hypocritical, cruel, and I really just hate him. It was really hard to get through this without throwing up and I suggest reading any trigger warnings prior to starting this. This book has broken me the most out of everything I have ever read. The last page had my stomach churning, and I don't think I will ever fully recover after reading this.
