I'm glad I went back to this after temporarily DNF'ing (due to subject matter, not book quality). If I had never come back, I would have missed the roller coaster of emotions this book took me on. This book was not comfortable. But I couldn't put it down and I couldn't look away. I will continue thinking and sitting with my feelings about this one. I cried. Wept, actually.
This was sexy, scary, devastating, and exciting. I will forever be impressed by the genre and it ability to tackle very serious, difficult, tragic topics in a way that still centers love, joy, and a happy ending. Although I love a fluffy, plotless romance as well, there is something that hits so deep about characters like this finding love in the most dire of circumstances.
