Def one of the most brutal things I’ve ever read. When they gave those trigger warnings they should’ve emphasized the ENTIRE BOOK is the trigger. But somehow I enjoyed it deeply 😂

3.0

Complicated feelings on this one. On one hand, I’m completely disgusted by what the male MCs in this book do to the heroine, and on the other, I’m marveling at how the authors sprinkle juuuuuuuust enough hope and kindness to make you not completely hate them. It’s masterful, honestly.
