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.

— slow-paced, multiple povs
“i don’t know what the hell i think i’m doing, but whenever i’m around her, all i can think about is how much more i want to be around her.”
i’ve been in a major reading slump, and this book helped me get through it. the story follows sloan, a woman trapped in an abusive relationship with her boyfriend, asa. but her world turned upside down when she meets carter, a man who has secrets of his own.
first of all, i have mixed feelings with this book. it was good, the plot seems very well thought-of and the element of suspense was great. the characters’ personalities also contributed to the beauty of the whole story. i actually felt sad for the fmc’s situation and her boyfriend made me so furious—he was so fucked up in the head. on the other hand, my favorite character in the story was carter—the mmc. i really like the idea of him being a knight-in-shining armor for the fmc.
to be honest, there are some dull moments and i was a little bit confused about the story at first, and it was kind of slow for me, but it was interesting at the same time. i also did not see the plot twist coming.
if you’re looking for a book with a touch of drama and suspense, you should give this book a try.
