3.0

 This pretty little thing has been staring at me for almost a year... And now that we have finally found each other I have to say: well done, well done miss Read

The bad: (since this one is probably going to be shorter)

1. I didn't realize that this was new adult fiction when I bought it... So from the point were I thought that this was going to be one hundred percent about the road to recovery after
   rape...
   It's a lot of sleeping with dudes.
2. I didn't like any of the names. Sorry. They rubbed me the wrong way
3. both dudes were practically the same... Except everything in their lives should have influenced them and shaped them into different human beings entirely -
   This is what happens: Max= bad boyish lachlan= bestie . AND HELL TO NO that the ending justified that shit. I don't even get how the fuck lachlan turned into Max... just how... when... where? was the sex made up? did you visit him? the freak girl?
   
   The good:

• The twist; hell fucking yeah 
  but also "It was all a dream" is the same fucking ending... so also "No thank u"
• The sex scenes where quite steamy
• The psychologist; I love a cuddly helper in the psych ward... one who gives a flying fuck. 
• Mary
• The delusions...  very convincing
• I love love loved the prose. Easy and simple yet beautiful just like i like it. 
  
  

Still gives me an overall of 3 stars....
