Booktok really did me wrong on this recommendation. I love an enemies to lovers trope as much as the next person but this was just predatory twisted and disgusting. I honestly wish I never heard of this book and I am disgusted that people find this worth recommending. I don’t even know why I finished the thing, I think I was just amazed at how truly disgusting it was. Don’t read this, it’s a romanticized view of literal r*pe and SA.

This book is truly depraved. I cannot stress enough that if you have experienced any of the above content warnings then you shouldn’t even watch reviews of it. It not only contains horrible explicit content but it glorifies and romanticizes it. I wish I could say anything good about this book but I can’t. It’s horrible.
