I constantly contemplated DNFing throughout the first two-third of the book, but I'm glad I managed to finish it. I was looking for something lighthearted, but this wasn't it. This is not a romance book. This is the story of an almost 30-year-old woman trying to work through her traumas, deal with an emotionally abusive ex, and the reappearance of a teenage flame in her life.
Graphic: Sexual assault and Gaslighting
Moderate: Death of parent
