Long Shot by Kennedy Ryan

dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I loved August and how he loved Iris, and that was the only thing I liked about this book. I think the trigger warnings needed to be emphasized more at the beginning because this was intense with

domestic, sexual abuse and rape

. I could deal with a few scenes of the physical, but one scene (if that) was enough for

when Caleb raped Iris

Multiple scenes of that wasn’t necessary and the point could’ve been made without all of them.
