So I really wish I could rate this higher, because Fox has a way with words and does well sucking you in. The character voice is strong (and I don't mean the narrator but I think he did awesome also), I enjoyed the relationship for the most part, and the steam was HIGH/well-written/sexy af. But unfortunately the way certain things happened in the story were often very unbelievable or out of place. For the latter, I don't know if it was a pacing issue, or just like she was trying to put all these scenes in her head in without proper set up around them. It seemed like a much longer book than it was, for all the content, but it just felt off sonehow and those two things often jarred me out of it.
Graphic: Addiction and Drug abuse
Moderate: Death, Torture, and Violence
Minor: Gaslighting
There is a strong theme of disability/ physical limitations after having severe injury, but at times Fox kinda handwaves it for sex and in the end has a successful surgery rather than having to continue living with it.
