Up until about halfway through, this book makes no sense. Almost infuriatingly so. But then, it does. And it punches you in the goddamn face. Masterfully crafted, honestly, and it’s almost disappointing that it is quantified simply as a “dark romance” even though it technically is.
The *only* reason I can’t give this 5 stars is because I feel like the ending and the tying up of loose ends happened too quickly and inorganically. The “love fixes everything” trope feels wrong here, and, while it’s not my place to speak for it, I can’t help but worry that some of the representation in the final chapters is damaging, or at least borders on it.
