This book was way too slow paced for me. 

Some repetitive thoughts from both main characters
The romance in this novel is not very exciting.
 It seems like the main characters just lust after each other.
didn’t feel connection between main characters.
The author did a good job at showing the stages of domestic violence and how the system fails woman

This was a really rough read and I'm not sure I'd recommend it to everyone. Major trigger warnings for domestic violence, rape, abuse, imprisonment and child endangerment. I was in a bad place myself reading part of this book, but had to finish it to make sure the heroine got through to the other side.

That said, the writing is amazing and quotable. The author obviously did extensive research because the circumstances and emotions and decisions ring true. If you are in a dangerous situation at home, call the Domestic Abuse Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233).

Check the trigger warnings bc it is pretty graphic and I did not and was therefore real surprised and not at all prepared. 

At one point the fmc gets raped at gun point (actually several times), she gets beaten, isolated, degraded and basically forced to have her baby and be with her abuser

I gave it 3stars at first but I realised that I was waiting for the book to become enjoyable for most of the book and it only got enjoyable at the 70ish mark therefore 2 stars
