It’s Okay

It took me 7 months to finish this book.
Mainly because

the rape topic was so sudden and very heavy, obviously, it took a while to start reading as well as continue reading. i don’t like the whole “boy saves girl” trope and there were too many plot twists that ended up complicating the storyline
