he delivery of this book was raw and real.
the way the MMC is coping with his own addiction and struggles throughout the story while trying (desperately) to put the peices of the FMC together was beautiful and heartbreaking. I loved and felt the panic and pain that the character was feeling and thought it was portrayed in a broken and terrible way - that it showed the truth the scattered thoughts and feelings.
I loved Kid from Hawke and grew to love him more here - my maternal instincts just wanted to bundle him into my arms and tell him he'd be okay. I was at first frustrated with the fmc and her constant push/pull towards him but then appreciated the way her character developed as the mmc learnt more about her past and why she ran from it.
Was the plot and 'cause of pain' the most solid...no, but I accepted it and went with it for the more subtle depth of what was being achieved overall.
I did get annoyed that she (someone who has experience with drugs and the drug world) didn't recognise Kid going through withdrawal... but okay.
I did like the way the story tied up as I was a little concerned with where it was going and how it was going to all be resolved given a lot of it was 'simillar' -- I mean that a few chapters of what felt like the same situations were occuring -- but thankfully, we got past that and started moving. The spice was on point as always in a crazed drug induced way and also in a growth and light bdsm way. Jescie writes good spice with enought emotional depth of character growth and story to keep you keen.
