Terrible. The first half is promising as childhood best friends slowly admit to their love for each other. Then it devolves into chapters and chapters of explicit, controlling, and completely uninteresting sex. Skimmed the last 3 chapters just to get to the end faster.
Graphic: Misogyny, Sexual content, Sexual violence, Toxic relationship
Minor: Bullying, Child death, Abandonment
