Frustratingly inconsistent in quality. Ridiculously porny (by which I don't just mean explicit, but the sex scenes are often contrived and unconvincing, and leave you asking "who's putting what where now?") Protagonist Violet makes terrible choices throughout, and I'm not sure I was rooting for a happy ending for her so much as just wanted to stay her kicking and screaming away from the awful, awful creeps she's got involved with.
Graphic: Emotional abuse, Sexual content, Toxic relationship, Rape, and Sexual assault
Moderate: Grief, Dysphoria, Infidelity, Eating disorder, Gaslighting, Mental illness, Vomit, and Child death
