A review by themoonchild
The Wallflower by J.L. Beck

3.0

I want to thank NetGalley, Publishers Dreamscape Media, and the author J.L. Beck for providing this audio-ARC. Which, I will be giving my honest and sincere review.

The Wallflower is full of trigger warnings
Adult speech, Adult behaviour, Family dysfunction, cancer, Non Consenting acts, Rape, Degrading speech, Abuse, Family Violence, Betrayal.

This was a fast-paced read from the start you get to see the plans for the book explained, Drew has his eyes on someone who dared to defy him, and now he wants to toy with it. If you are expecting an Icebreaker-type book move away.

The scenes are so well described and portrayed gave me all the emotions, I gasped, cried, and laughed especially with our Female main character's best friend.
The book is heavy with abuse and non-consensual behaviours, or maybe CNC. I felt rage at times.

In every chapter, you will see some kind of triggering behaviours that I mentioned above. So please proceed with caution.

A Hint "Drew" the main male character is one of the first characters I hate, that might be on purpose since I feel that the author left us on a cliffhanger but I kind of saw the plot twist coming, it least was very obvious to me.
