It’s still a complicated mess in my mind. It was weird and I was creeped out, but not in a way that would’ve compelled me to put the book down. Unexpectedly, I was more drawn to the characters as compared to the plot. It might have taken some time before I was pulled in to the story, but I felt like I was really there with the characters and I adored every single one of them (except for one).

not much of a fan of love built on lust, but i sure do love a good redemption arc. i just wish the two character had more moments other than just having sex. this, however, was superseded by the message of this book. i think i can agree with it. i truly think that people deserve another chance at love and pursuing happiness.
