Toxic relationship, SA triggers, assault. He burns down her literal house and she is just so fine about that. It's gotta be a "No" from me dawg, sorry.

I didn’t like how

micheal never apologizes to her like it was a really traumatizing event and he straight up was like huh that sucks wanna make out? end

the whole tense plot of why are they in jail and why is it Rikas fault really had me on edge wondering what’s gonna happen next. Recommend if you like romantic thrillers!
