any time a strong female character who is very set on not having kids changes her mind for a man. this one is extremely personal to me hating that trope so i don’t want to say it’s objectively bad or unrealistic, i just personally dislike it in media when i come across it.Graphic: Domestic abuse and Misogyny

Check trigger warnings! There are some super heavy themes here, personally, I think they were all handled responsibly and with care.
This isn’t a great escapism book, or it wasn’t for me, just because of how emotionally heavy parts of it can be a lot. While I wouldn’t call it great for escapism it hits the spot in a whole other delightful way. Still has that big romance HEA, just with a kick-ass bit of social justice on the side.
