Too well.
In the usual way, Holly Bourne expertly crafts an engaging narrative with important socia commentary. Showing through April's job as a charity worker just how widespread sexual violence is in daily life. She tacklea diatresaing topics with care and the way everything was interwoven just had me unable to do anything else but read this book, waiting for the moment where eventually Joshua would learn the truth.
I will be thinkung about this book for a long time.

I wanted to enjoy this, if enjoy is the right word, but I couldn’t accept the character’s thinking.

I will preface this with Holly Bourne is one of my favourite writers so I’m not sure if I went in a bit biased, but this book captured my heart and soul and feelings into one book so I need to shout it’s praises.
April has had a horrible experience the men and as result has decided to change herself into “the perfect women” only to lure in a man and turn the tables onto him. This book is heartbreaking portrayal of dating in the modern age. There were times I was on April’s side there were times I was hoping she would stop and tell the truth. I stayed up to 3am to finish this book I was crying throughout. I really encourage anyone and everyone to pick up this book.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 for me I haven’t stopped thinking about this book since the summer.
