Ambivalence: Ambivalence Book One of the Ambivalence Quartet Soft Cover by M. Day Kendall

dark emotional slow-paced

3.5

This is HEAVY but so good. Definitely need to check trigger warnings, things get pretty graphic. 

I loved the dual POV and being in the characters thoughts - it was a really unique way to tell the story and made it hit that much harder. M Day Kendall has a beautiful writing style that feels so poetic and raw. 

The ending was so satisfying while still leaving me wanting to know what happens next. I am looking forward to continuing the series.
