This book was a wild ride. Incredibly powerful and moving. I found myself constantly empathising with the main character, and simultaneously screaming at her to get out and escape. With the impossible situation that she is in, she puts her body and mind on the line to protect a loved one. This novel would be extremely triggering for some. I binged this book in 24 hours, easy read in terms of vocabulary, plot and characters. Hard read in terms of very dark and heavy topics being discussed. Overall, I really enjoyed it.

Such a bad book. Badly written characters and weird romance. The r*pe was written so casually and almost brushed off, and then she got with another man straight after with no regard for her two year long abusive relationship. Overall a bad read

Not very well written and no well-developed characters. 
Ok enough that I finished the book, but the story was pretty cheesy at times and lacked depth.

This book was SO HEAVY and it made me so angry that it feels weird even giving it a rating. I couldn’t stop reading because I had to know what happened and was desperate for a resolution to the nightmare Sloan was in. Every single character made poor decisions and it was hard to be on anyone’s side, Sloan’s included. I definitely wouldn’t recommend going in blind on this one - know it’s not for the faint of heart if you’re opening it up!
