I wanted to scream at Alexis throughout the book that she was making things harder than they needed to be for herself. Her parents were toxic AF. I can kind of see why she thought she had to stay, but I wish her friend had been honest with her and snapped her out of it earlier.
The book was much longer than I felt it needed to be. I get that the author wanted to tackle different kinds of domestic violence, but I think that one storyline with it and a more minor mention or two would have been enough. The whole book was steeped in toxic relationships and abusive dynamics, excluding the romance between Daniel and Alexis, and their relationships with some of their friends.
Overall, just too dark and depressing for me, and I had hoped for more of a romantic comedy, this was kind of that but with so much darkness included too.
Narrators' Rating: 3.25 stars
Overall, they did a good job, but the tone that Zachary Webber used for Alexis was quite irritating.
