Not no mention most of the plot is entirely unrealistic, but that's the smallest issue.
I'd suggest you don't read this book, but if you want to, please, please look at the trigger warnings closely and know that what happens is probably worse than what the warnings suggest, this is intense.

The main male character is a self-absorbed 22 year-old prick who knows nothing and thinks he k owns everything. Despite the fact that he claims to love the main female character, he does not respect her at all. The only boundary of hers he respects and doesn’t push is the one he doesn’t have a sexual fantasy about. In the manner of a week and half, him and his BDSM sexual techniques called “therapy”(that he devised from some light Googling) cure years of horrific trauma while insulting and looking down on actual therapy practices and techniques. And the small portion of abuse that is presented to be horrific is even told in a sensationalized way.
On top of all this, the plot outside of the relationship is so convoluted and unbelievable. Somehow every single character in this story only manages to jump to the most extreme “solution” to their problem. I will not be reading the others in this series.

I will say that the emotions when things were 'good' didn't quite counter the intensity of the angst and emotions when things weren't so good. It tapered off a bit. Or it somehow felt a little anticlimactic.
I really loved it though.
Read Pam Godwin when you want to feel things!
