Tempting by Crystal Kaswell

4.0

During the first half of the book I felt hesitant and not well connected to the story or the characters. Needless to say that absolutely changed. The portrayal of what it feels like to have depression is spot on. It literally feels like the author split open my head and put all my thoughts onto the page. It has been a while since I have felt so seen by someone else’s words and genuinely connected to a character. I have minor uses with some word choices, but my main complaint is that I really dislike the whole keeping secrets from the people you care about trope. I understand that it’s human nature but I hate it every time I see it. Please stop lying to your best friend. The serva me, servabo te tattoos really hit me right in the feels and between this and the depression rep I could almost look past the lying trope and unfavorable word choices.
