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.

luna_98's review against another edition

i’m trying to learn that it’s okay to dnf if i’m not enjoying the book! (plus it was from the library so it wasn’t like i spent money on it and want to get my moneys worth 😂) and this book just… wasn’t good? maybe i’ll try it again sometime, maybe not. very heavy topics and i just don’t think i was in the right headspace.

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