Review:

This was bad. I do not at all understand the hype behind this. It seems extremely undeserved. The way the book handles rape and abuse almost seems like a glorification. I thought the way the characters talked to each other was weird. Not only from the guy to the girl but also the other way around. I truly have no idea why everyone is so obsessed with this series. It kinda makes me mad that this book is so popular and not some of the much better romances I’ve read. So so disappointing and I am so glad I am done with it.

Trigger Warnings:
Rape and domestic violence
