This was … disappointing. This book wants to be this big, meaningful drama but it falls really flat in a lot of places, and as such, I didn’t care. Way too much of this book is any given MC internally monologuing. Several characters make some very bizarre decisions at the end. There’s an entire chapter that isn’t just unnecessary, it actively makes the book worse. All in all, like I said, this was disappointing.

CWs/TWs (which I’m spoilering because there is plot-related, spoiler stuff here):

Spoiler

sexual abuse of a child, physical abuse of an adult, murder of a relative, probably other stuff, idk

Thanks GayRomanceReviews for this ARC.
