This was an emotional journey. The story was well done and I loved the characters that we were supposed to love and hated the ones we were supposed to hate (like really despise). 

I really liked the story but make sure to check your TW because there is some tough stuff that the FMC goes through. 

I am probably not continuing though, because I really can’t get behind this pregnancy trope. I am not a fan to begin with, but the fact that her abuser is the one that got her pregnant, I just can’t stand it. Up until that, I really enjoyed the book. I’m sure the second one will be just as good if you don’t mind how this first one ends.

Overall I liked this book.

There was a TW for DV and PTSD but there should have been one for SA as well, especially considering how explicit it was.
Few things throughout that just didn't add up for me. That ending had was gut wrenching.

Enjoyable read

I quite enjoyed this one, but a couple parts weren’t really realistic, and some were a bit preachy or there for drama but not handled or mentioned afterwards. So if you don’t take the book too serious, it’s a good enough read.

Another round of editing would also be very welcome as I did notice quite some typos and mistakes.
