I genuinely don’t know how to rate this book. There’s grooming, incest, underage, multiple sexual assaults, threats of gang bangs and rape and that’s all in the opening chapters. The story then becomes an out of town/class girl trying to change a man who clearly should be in jail instead of getting therapy she actually needs. 

I mean to say, it’s awful… but I read it. Probably shouldn’t have… but I read it. I read the whole thing and I wish I hadn’t. 

The ending is a very convenient 5 years on happy ever after that frankly no one needed or buying. 

It’s bad. It’s just bad. 

There should just be plain old warnings for this, not just trigger ones.

I don't know what I read... That's all I got. I'm lost in the sauce on this one.

I wanted to hate this book so bad but I can’t not love it. Had me squirming in my seat, I couldn’t put the book down for hours. I would give it a 5 if the whole uncle/cousin thing wasn’t weirdly brought in into many of the sexual encounters. Other than that I fear I am team Noah till I die.

If you can deal with the twisted relationship dynamics and focus on the characters and building storyline you will enjoy. You do have to look largely past this to be able to appreciate the novel. Extremely well written, and everything ties together. Definitely an unexpectedly twist at every page turn. I read this in less than 24hrs…
