Maybe this could be a good story if you scrapped everything and just kept the very very basic concept. 

But it was badly written and Al of the characters were terrible people.

Please be mindful of the trigger warnings - Heavy Drug use, Mental Health, Domestic Abuse, S-Assault, non- consensual.

This was a solid 3- 3.5 for me, I don't think this one was as dark as Ugly love or Verity but was equally a very powerful read. 

The strength Sloane has to have to withstand Acer was heartbreaking. I think unless you've been in her position it's hard to fully see the emotional heartbreak of some of the scenes in this book. 

A tragic end but I felt the emotions of the ups and downs of this story. Recommend for people who don't mind triggers are in a good mental state.  

All characters I found to be very well written and felt like they were real people, not just fictional beings. 

The storyline was medium to fast paced, easy to follow. The Audiobook voice actors helped to bring the characters emotions and personalities to life and I enjoyed it more than I would think to read it.

So that happened. And I was HOOKED!! 
From the moment we met Sloan I fell in love with her! She was brave yet vulnerable! I love the connection she found in Carter/Luke and how thag was portrayed! I love how we also got to see Asa’s perspective of things. The one thing I didn’t enjoy was the use of the mental illness. To pretend to have schizophrenia as a get out clause for your crimes is not okay. However I did enjoy seeing the chaotic side of Asa. 

Love is not found. It finds. 

This story was honestly addicting, angsty, and so damn stressful I just couldn’t put the book down! I’m trying not to say too much about the book as YOU NEED TO READ THIS!!! The perfect book if you like romance with a sprinkle of darkness. 

Trains and buses stole my shoes and now I have to eat raw squid.
