honestly…. this is one of those books that was perfect as an audiobook for me to have while i was doing something else. yes, there were some heavier topics discussed but i simply didn’t care enough about the characters to want to invest in them. i did just sit and listen to the audiobook for the first seven hours so you can’t even fault me on that. i will definitely hesitate to pick up another of this author’s books but i will keep in mind that this was her debut. check triggers before you read.
tw: stalking, emotional abuse
