jupiterlee's review against another edition
However, it really was not for me and I did not finish it. I think I realised very quickly that it was not a book that I was going to struggle with when Ryle told Lily he wants to fuck her after just meeting her: fuck-boy characters are ones that I just do not get along with. Now, saying this I do not mind smut and I don't mind a character being out there, but instantly I was questioning the intent of the book, and then when Ryle was described as "a person who does bad things", I knew there was going to be things that I did not like.
I really do think that this book should come with trigger warnings as some of the things do come slightly out of the blue, and some of the things he does is so relevant to some abusive relationships today that it can it range from subtle triggering to major triggers. I agree with book being written to highlight issues and being a medium for people to educate themselves on trauma etc but this is not a book that I feel does that, and I believe that it just uses trauma in a unproductive way.
if you are going to read this book, I really do suggest having a good read at the triggers before just in case!

how quickly a relationship can go from being nice and fluffy and new to dark and abusive without you even noticing. It's disturbing, but in my case, it was accurate.Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Alcohol, Miscarriage, Gaslighting, Physical abuse, Rape, Alcoholism, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, and Pregnancy
