i felt interested in this story, i don't expect to re-read this or recommend to anyone. so much content warning, some of it unwarranted. sloan was a character i loved

i hated asa with my entire being (which i guess was the point)

. the story wasn't super predictable which i liked. the ending gave me all the answers i was looking for and it didn't make me cry. over all, my least fav hoover book. possibly my least fav book of the year so far.

Okay so this is probably one of my favourite colleen hoover books and it is definitely underrated, i would 100% recommend this (with informed tw's). This is a dark romance and i believe colleen hoover did an amazing job at writing this. She captured the struggles of being in a toxic/dangerous relationship so well and it honestly made me worried. As someone who has experienced similar emotions to sloane, this book hit differently and i felt scared and sad her her characters. There was a lot of shocking moments in this book which i hate because they happened but love for the shock factor. I knew this was a good book from the moment i started feeling sorry for the antagonist of the book (asa). I have to applaud coho for this one, i really do, it does not get the hype it deserves. I do have a few negatives. firstly, i believe the book was too long. the prologues and the epilogues to the epilogues i just found extremely unnecessary and although i understand their importance to the story, i believe it couldve been done better. and this negative is the only reason i will not reread this book. it felt like a chore when i got to the end. the second and last thing i did not like was the slang used. I am british so ofc american slang is not gonna be the norm for me. i understand that as the book is set in america, this way of talking is generic, however my issue is some of it felt a little too forced as it occurred very often.
