  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

“Avoiding the bad means you risk avoiding the good, too, and I’d rather be hurt than never not feel this.”

This is it. I think I’m done with anything incest-related stories. There’s too many trigger warnings for this book. I should have checked it first before buying the audiobook. Why don’t I ever DNF books? I was already so done with this story just a third done. I could have but didn’t and that’s on me already. 

This book has so many red flags, I don’t know why it has its mid-rating, where in fact, it should have been rated much less. I’ve read some of the 5 stars review of this book and I still can’t understand where they were coming from. Every chapter or major event, I question what the fuck has been happening and more and more I’m just being confused. As soon as I’ve felt the lead having an inkling towards her own uncle, I wanted to stop so badly. How I still finished this book is beyond me and I’ll forever question this decision all my life. If I can unread one book, this might be it.
