Please be mindful of the trigger warnings - Heavy Drug use, Mental Health, Domestic Abuse, S-Assault, non- consensual.

This was a solid 3- 3.5 for me, I don't think this one was as dark as Ugly love or Verity but was equally a very powerful read. 

The strength Sloane has to have to withstand Acer was heartbreaking. I think unless you've been in her position it's hard to fully see the emotional heartbreak of some of the scenes in this book. 

A tragic end but I felt the emotions of the ups and downs of this story. Recommend for people who don't mind triggers are in a good mental state.  

All characters I found to be very well written and felt like they were real people, not just fictional beings. 

The storyline was medium to fast paced, easy to follow. The Audiobook voice actors helped to bring the characters emotions and personalities to life and I enjoyed it more than I would think to read it.

I thought this book was slow at the beginning and I was trying really hard to like it despite the simple writing style and my bias toward the author. I am happy to say that halfway through the book, the story took a wild turn and carried me through until the very end with unexpected twists and turns! I finished this book so fast and the only reason I rated it less than 5 stars is because of the slow start. I also didn’t like how fast the two main characters “fell in love”. Literally it was like a week or two. They just met! Other than that, it was amazing and I would recommend to anyone that likes thrillers.
