So I want to start my review with this. Everyone likes different things. Objectively this book wasn’t bad, but it sure wasn’t my cup of tea. I couldn’t connect with August or Iris. I felt for Iris, I really did, but the on page SA and abuse was too much for me. I understand why it was on page, but it definitely affected my feelings on this book. If you are someone who really enjoyed this book that is great. I unfortunately did not, and it was hard for me to finish. I also really think there should be a bigger trigger warning in the front of this book. The one that is there didn’t convey what Iris was going to go through. If this is on your TBR, please don’t take my review as negative, and give it a shot. You might enjoy it and it be exactly what you like. Just make sure you go in with open eyes of what is on page and honestly pretty graphic at times.
