I wasn’t expecting this book to be what it was. I went in blind and I’m so glad I did. Kennedy Ryan is that girl with the writing. Cannot wait to read more of her masterpieces!

This book ripped my heart out on multiple accounts. I just felt for Iris the whole book and cried with her more than once. She is such an inspiring woman,

putting her child before her own safety. So happy with August's character and how he listened to her and did not jump to conclusions about why she couldn't tell her.

I am so happy they got their happy end :)

The only reason I'm giving it any stars is for the second half. 
I understand this book takes on a difficult topic, but it absolutely should not be marketed as a romance novel. The absolutely atrocious amount of details of the abuse was very unnecessary and didn't bring anything of value to the book. The warnings should be much more drastic, and the plot description should reflect the severety of the DETAILED abuse. I had to skip majority of the second quarter of it because the descriptions made me sick. I doubt anyone starting this book was expecting to read scenes where FMCs boyfriend brutally violates and physically abuses her. Repeatedly. Also the way the book just absolutely skips over abortion being a viable possibility for the FMC enraged me. She didn't love him, she didn't want to have a baby, they weren't even married and she already knew she would be dependant on him. Abortion is motioned in one sentence. Honestly tragic.

Loved the writing and the development of the characters. I honestly just wasn’t expecting it to get so dark!!! Like this was not what I was expecting but it made the ending so worth the journey.
