breedaniell 's review for:

In the Gray by B.B. Reid
2.5
dark sad tense

the age gap between the FMC (19) & MMC (35) disturbed me so much, especially considering that's the same age gap between me and MY parents. 🤢 irl, Rowdy would have been called a predator by me LOUDLY & i would have been CHUNKING BRICKS. 

but both rowdy & atlas acted like they were 19 years old. my favorite character is was golden since he was MUTE almost the whole time. 

the amount of cognitive dissonance i felt reading this shit was so unreal. the inc-st trope is where she almost lost me & the ONLY reason she didn't was because i pre-read some reviews since i was 200+ pages deep before the pieces started to fall together. 

PLEASE DO NOT SKIP THOSE TRIGGER WARNINGS CUS YOU WILL BE TRIGGERED IF YOU DO.

(spice was well-written & it makes me cringe to say that, lol)
