Heed the title... this book will hurt... glacially slow burn, best friends, past trauma that interferes with so much of Jake's life and our journey with him in this story is probably only the tip of the ice berg, but I couldn't put it down... and then the cliffhanger...

And now, I sit with a huge hole in my brain, waiting to see what more pain can be inflicted on an unsuspecting not so naive any more reader...

If you are a masochist who loves denial, pick up this book immediately... if you're more of a binge to hopefully a HEA kind of reader, you will want to add this to your tbr and tease yourself with the complete unknown until Part 2 drops in June.
