A review by liblibby
When You Are Mine by Kennedy Ryan
Did not finish book. Stopped at 82%.
This. Book. Sucks. It's marketed as a sweet story between an orphan who got her life together and a billionaire.
But there is SO MUCH TRAUMA in this book. And it's not handled well at all.

There are two former orphans and they both lived through childhood sexual abuse (one of them goes into way too much detail imo).
On top of that--as if that's not enough for us to get the point that people are going through it, there's child death, kidnapping, infidelity, on-page murder, spousal r*pe, and at least two instances of cancer.
I was determined to finish because I wanted to see how this author wrapped it up into a happy ending. But then I read some reviews on StoryGraph and learned that it's part of a duology--so this story doesn't resolve itself at all. So I just quit.
