Holy shit this is heavy. Definitely check your content warnings on this. Not going to lie I was seriously tempted to DNF as soon as Iris decides not to get an abortion, but even at only 10% of the way through I was already too invested in the story. I ended up reading it all in basically one sitting, but I was actually shaking I was so upset. Iris suffers horrific abuse and it is all on-page. The way she’s able to put her life back together and trust August not to hurt her or Sarai is beautiful, but this is not an easy read. Kennedy Ryan is brilliant and handles this story so well, but I’m going to need a breather before continuing with the series.
