first three chapters = very, totally, super, reallyyy NOT at all SAFE. I hated it. Like, wtf?? It was very triggering (sexual assault and bullying FROMfirst three chapters = very, totally, super, reallyyy NOT at all SAFE. I hated it. Like, wtf?? It was very triggering (sexual assault and bullying FROM the H) and when I finally read the rest of the book, it was unnecessary tbh, but this is dark romance tho so gotta cross some lines (still not an excuse). So, I recommend skipping the first three cuz everything else was fan-fucking-tastic.
The saving grace here is theheroine, Zoey. She's strong, brave, logical and not at all a doormat and a pushover, which is good considering what happened in the first three chapters. Another saving grace is the banter. This has one of the best banters/bickering I've ever read and the fact that everything was shown and not told is a plus because my recent reads has the telling instead of showing kind of writing and thats super annoying.
The only things I didn't like here were the first chapters (obviously) and the "grovelling" after their breakup since he didn't grovel imo, he just played more mind games which I completely understand actually since that was the H's character. And the OW/ex drama wasn't that bad tbh. H made out with his ex after going on a first date with h and they have already been semi-intimate (third-base) by then but H stopped it with OW when he came to his senses.
So ya, definitely skip the first three chapters cuz everything else was just great....more
