dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

•This book was wild from the first page, no messing about. 
•I enjoyed the perspective swap between Sloan, Asa & Carter. 
•The story felt so quick & left me with many questions.
•I can only imagine living in those circumstances; events simply occur without rhyme or reason at crazy pace. It’s taxing physically, mentally and beyond emotionally.
•I blazed through the story, truly wanting to know if Sloan would be okay. 
•I carried a heavy heart for a lot of this quick story.
•Realising that this can be a current chapter in someone’s real life on this planet made me feel many things. 
•Getting into the mind of Asa was absolutely necessary for this story. 
•I loved the insight into Stephen.

Maybe this could be a good story if you scrapped everything and just kept the very very basic concept. 

But it was badly written and Al of the characters were terrible people.

Please be mindful of the trigger warnings - Heavy Drug use, Mental Health, Domestic Abuse, S-Assault, non- consensual.

This was a solid 3- 3.5 for me, I don't think this one was as dark as Ugly love or Verity but was equally a very powerful read. 

The strength Sloane has to have to withstand Acer was heartbreaking. I think unless you've been in her position it's hard to fully see the emotional heartbreak of some of the scenes in this book. 

A tragic end but I felt the emotions of the ups and downs of this story. Recommend for people who don't mind triggers are in a good mental state.  

All characters I found to be very well written and felt like they were real people, not just fictional beings. 

The storyline was medium to fast paced, easy to follow. The Audiobook voice actors helped to bring the characters emotions and personalities to life and I enjoyed it more than I would think to read it.

Too dark, intense, dark, and emotional for me to read. Lots of awful triggers.
