So close to a DNF. 

I was hoping for the love of god for some character growth but nope, none. 

Maksim is an egotistical ass whose background of trauma was insufficient to redeem him in my eyes. 

Paisley was his therapist. Couldn’t get past them together - one minute she was saying ‘no’ the next minute, ‘let’s go’.  For what? He confined do deceive, tell half truths and speak to her like crap. 

Uh, this was hard to finish. I shouldn’t have bothered.
