Content warning for graphic violence, various kinds of child abuse, emotional and physical abuse of adults, hard drugs, basically everything you can think of.
Reading this book was a rollercoaster ride and I kept envisioning it as a super dramatic film or TV show with a twisted, badass heroine and a cinnamon roll hero. (A ruthless cinnamon roll who fit this universe, but a cinnamon roll nonetheless.) You guys are probably aware that combo is catnip for me, so I was having an excellent time.
This story subverted a lot of tropes of the genre in a way I found fun and fresh. Finally, I adored the heroine's relationship with her best friend. Go into this prepared for a wonderful amount of mess and gore, but also lots of gooey feelings. Enjoy!...more
