I went into this book, hoping that it would be a little more light than the last, and I was so wrong. I thought it started off promising the toxic character seemed to be taking a break and then it just went further and further and further into what can only be described as a mess. There are many trigger warnings I wish I knew prior because they really were intense. However, if I put all that aside I still just didn't like the book as a whole. there were some enjoyable characters, I liked Trevor, Zed, Kimberley, and even Richard. I think although Richard's story is a sad one that I think the representation is needed for that topic. But I overall began to really dislike the writing and the main characters. for instance, there are a lot of references to other women in the book, but they are always put down as less than Tessa (heroine) that i just thought was patronizing and distasteful. overall i didn't hate the book, i just didnt enjoy it and wouldn't recomment
