Definitely read the trigger warnings before diving into this one. A hard read but a good one. Saying I enjoyed it feels wrong considering some of the content but it was well written, both harrowing and beautiful. Loved the main characters, their connection and acceptance of one another. Lots of different elements combined into one novel but somehow it really works!

she has done it again. this is not a fluffy romance. please check the trigger warnings because i did not. this book is what Colleen Hoover TRIED to do with It Ends With Us. 

the detail. the emotions it put me through. i am in complete awe. the way it all feels so real.. i loved every second of it. 

i was able to relate to the characters. i was able to disagree with something’s and still love them like they were real people. the rollercoaster this book put me through. listen. i’ll say it again. PLEASE CHECK THE TRIGGER WARNINGS. 

i feel like any and all women should read this book regardless of your own different experience with relationships. i can’t wait to read about Lotus & Kenan, though that is in the third book.

🌶️🌶️🌶️ holy shit. I was not mentally prepared for the turmoil of this book. It’s great, don’t get me wrong, but it’s TOUGH. The content warning was NOT enough, it should have explicitly stated there was actual scenes of rape and domestic abuse. Definitely could have been triggering to some readers. My pool heart goes out to all survivors 💔

This was my first real step into dark romance and I just don’t think it’s for me. It had quite a lot of graphic SA which I just don’t think is for me. Really sad and I think in general pretty well done but not my favorite genre. 
3/5 🌶️
