Not. For me. 

Expecting a romance book, for a drama filled, abusive littered crap show of someone’s life. 

I honestly didn’t get what was advertised and wish I had known more what to expect before jumping in. My first book by this author picked up on a whim but it was not a light romance, there was a LOT of domestic abuse triggers for anyone wondering. A lot of toxic stuff in here and basically no romance anywhere. 

I can see where people would enjoy this look into a woman’s life as she tries to figure out her life but I wasn’t looking for a book like this and I don’t enjoy ones with this tone. So not for me.

This is the most non traditional rom com ever. Was it messy yes. Was it steamy…slow burn yes. Do you love the characters yes. Is it also a cautionary tale about giving your heart to mean men. Also yes. When I tell you this book breaks your heart to mend it back together. It does that. Also Roxy was it…fuck her total how do they say it across the pond. Slag. I knew when Brooke rated it 5 stars it would not disappoint.
