Not gonna lie, I didn't really get into the book until like 1/3 of it but when we got to see more of Nora's past and learned more about her ex Wes too, I was hooked. This book really surprised me because, at its core, it's a story about abuse and surviving but it also doesn't glorify the violence or pain characters experience/inflict on others. I'm very curious how the story will continue in the sequel.
