The ending lost me but I finished it anyway. I really enjoyed the build up of tension between them. I’m not sure if I missed trigger warnings but there definitely should be some for DUBCON. I was caught completely off guard. Other trigger warnings as well but that was the big one for me.

This book was such a rollercoaster! The only way to describe it is that it's like a soap opera, in the best way possible. There's so much happening, all the drama, but somehow it works so well!
