This book was so good I want to immediately reread it. It's sort of a love story, but it is just as much an adventure. It felt like an earnest telling of the kind of relationships I've had and how they eased into what they were. It was filled with so much love and adventure. And so much baggage handled in a way that took care with it. I love this book and I think it may be one of my favourites out of the hundreds I've read in the past 3 years. It was a masterclass in keeping you interested in the things happening next and immensely well developed characters.

I also want to commend the audiobook narrator. All of the voices were distinct and so accurate to the way the text describes them.

Genuinely incredible book. I think things were tied up nicely but I love these characters so much that I wish there had been more.

the dialog is a little weirdly written as well as the smutty scenes... honestly it felt as if i was reading a men written book in those scenes with some cringe worthy sentences.  But the story itself was very interesting and well developed a bit easy to guess some of the "plotwists" but overall it was a nice read.
Just tw there's mention of r*p*, torture, abuse and lots of violence
