Alex and Elisha are both fucked up. I was rooting for Elisha for the first half or so, until I saw him changing and then become who he was by the end. With Alex, I was glad we had a POV for him, but my GOD did I hate him. Even when things were starting to come together and be got out of his rich ass ideals, I still hated him. This entire book is 1000x fucked up, but yet I couldn't stop reading it. Couldn't stop thinking about it. Needed to finish this story but at the same time didn't want too.
Honestly, I am glad I read this. I would advise to look at the TW's from this author, because they are LOTS and it's not a easy read. Honestly, how it was promoted and how people talked about it? It isn't what they were saying, but you need to read it to understand.
