Personally, I think this could’ve been turned into something crazy cool. If there had been some more depth, world / character building, a way more detailed ending, a little more suspense during action moments etc.

Did not finish book.
I just CANNOT get into a book where you start dating a man, then start fucking his “brother” at the same time, now you’re basically dating them both, then when you’re pulled away from them because of who controls them you start fucking him. So now you have a thing for 3 different men and they’re all shit really. And I’m just over it. The reading is hard to follow, you’re sleeping with your arch enemy every 5 pages of this book, I fear I’ve lost the plot. Goodbye

I knew this followed a toxic relationship but holy fuck, I was starting to get so annoyed. The constant cheating and complete lack of communication was asinine. Regardless though, it’s very real and relatable for a lot of people. This book was written incredibly well and I cared for the characters even though I wanted to bash their heads together sometimes.
So, I guess I have mixed opinions on this story and how I wanted to rate it but I settled on a higher rating because I felt the things I was meant to feel even if that was frustration and I did enjoy the story and loved the way it was written. I also liked that I was able to connect to the characters and feel emotion for and toward them and I stayed interested in what was going on.

You may read this book and find it unrealistic like some people because you feel like what I just said is how you’d handle this situation if it were you but everyone handles trauma differently and a lot of people shut down. You also don’t really know that for sure unless it were you. The fear of consequence doesn’t always seem worth the risk. Let’s also not forget… it’s literally fiction.
This book was disturbing and kept me so engaged. I didn’t want to stop reading. I needed to know the details about what they were experiencing, how it ended, if they escaped, who survived if any, etc., I wasn’t fond of the writing style at first but I got over it and got used to it.
