This is incest, pure and simple. There’s grooming, SA, and relations with a minor and an adult. Booktok did me so wrong on this one, I’ve learned to research books more before going in blind. Absolutely disgusting.

Honestly, I didn’t think I’d get that far, and I wish I didn’t. I’m not even sympathetic to tiernan….i blame her. Her parents die and she has no reaction, but when she sees her uncle or step-cousins, she full on changes her personality and mood. Penelope should get jail time for even thinking about this. I think she may have something for someone in her family…. Anyway, whatever money she got from writing this book should atleast be enough for a therapist(both me and her), if none of us get funded, I would personally pay for hers. I pray everyday for Penelope and you should too.

Only giving it a 4 star because I pictured them as not family. That was nasty and a no thank you. However the story line outside of that was decent.

Lots of red flags that were ignored. But I absolutely loved reading this book and watching each character grow and become adults basically. Needed more spice

This was something to say the least, I did enjoy it a little but the long chapters and the general relationship made it kinda hard to get through at points. It’s the longest it’s taken me to read something in a long time.
