This book is fucked up. 
Yes the ending was one hell of a plot twist but I don't know what I think of it. 

At least this book made me understand trigger warnings..

This book. I came into reading this book with a set of expectations and it definitey threw those for a loop.  The tension in the book was palpable to the point that I had to put it down multiple times because it became too much.  As a mother the scenes that were in the manuscript were horrifying and heartbreaking.  There were spicy scenes that lightened the mood a bit but then you'd remember that there was this tension always lurking in the background.  Fiction is a crazy place and this book does a great job of diving into the dichotomy that a writer, I'm sure has to live and work through.  Great read, but kinda f***ed me up.

This is my latest attempt to try a Hoover book and it will likely be my last. The idea of the book was good but I think the pacing and execution make it unrealistic. The FMC is 32 yet acts like a high schooler in how fast she falls in love with a man she doesn’t know. I feel like if the timeline was spread out more it would make the story more realistic but that’s not the case. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this book.
