Worst thing I've ever read. Need to preface this by saying I read this for a challenge and it turned out to be even worde than anticipated. Toxic, creepy, and incestuous (not to mention the other weird implications); it is also horribly written. I'm begging the author to learn about writing longer sentences. No real character development whatsoever and no diversity either cause they're fucking related. Very concerned about the SA that's never adressed. This would be way better as a atockholm syndrome thriller.

Wtf did I just listen to? I think this author needs to serve jail time… and so do I for finishing the entire book. 
I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this book to anyone I love.

Listen... this was some disturbing, disgusting, hillbilly Alabama, weird, problematic af BS. 
Don't ask why I gave it 4⭐️ because I have no idea. 
I'm ashamed to say I liked it. I don't agree with it. I cringed my way through and turned green more than once, but it was like a train wreck I couldn't look away from. 
🤷🏼‍♀️
If this was irl I would call the police 😆
