um so basically the book was pretty good. The twist at the ends with the principal being the mom of Misha was pretty cool. I liked the ending, it was satisfying with Misha being a rockstar and them being not only content, but happy. I like how they kept their romance alive along the years. We are so proud of Misha and Ryen (for her character development). Loved them as characters and loved their story.Graphic: Eating disorder, Drug abuse, Bullying, Death, Child death, Panic attacks/disorders, Blood, Sexual harassment, and Pregnancy

It's a shame, because I wanted to like this book. I'd heard mixed things, but from what I'd heard about the plot it sounded like something I would enjoy, or at least be interested in. I was not interested. I was either annoyed or outright bored for at least 75% of this book, and that's being generous.
I do want to give the dark romance genre another shot though, so if anyone has any recommendations that are not as god awful as this book, send them my way.
