I gave “The Reckless Oath We Made” 2 stars because it was horrific. I had no idea this was by the same author but the amount of 5 star reviews I read calling this an “age gap romance” saying it’s not pedophilia because Wavy “consented”…. I am very scared for the children in your lives. Nevertheless, this book was so realistic of stories of childhood abuse and trauma I had to take a few breaks reading. The rape and subsequent sex scenes are explicit.
