I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I started reading this book. Based on the cover, I didn’t think it would be too explicit. Then, I decided that it would be a good idea to read before work. I got to chapter 2, and oh gosh. It wasn’t even 8:00 in the morning and I found out exactly what this book had in store for me.

Aside from that funny moment, this book was…interesting. The pacing was good and all of the characters are distinct and well written. The relationship between Poppy and Hawke is….again, interesting. The first 3/4 of the book it’s a pretty good relationship. There were moments where I felt that Hawke was being a bit creepy or weird, but we later find out why. The last 1/4 of the book is where I’m questioning the relationship a bit. There’s a lot that happens and that changes both to the characters. And I’m not sure if that’s good. BUT because the book ended in this way, it makes me curious as to what will happen next.
