This was not my cup of tea. It was salacious without substance and the shock factor was not done well enough to make me come around to liking any of the characters despite their serious flaws. I also didn’t buy the romance or chemistry between the main characters. And there was so much abuse and fucked up behavior, which I was prepared for going in, but all the complexity was so shallow it didn’t even count for me. Glad other people liked it! Wasn’t high enough caliber writing to get me invested.
