DNF @ 50%
TW: domestic violence, irresponsible drug use
I had to DNF this for many reasons, but the primary reason being the domestic violence descriptions being personally triggering (unusual for me). The writing was hard for me to get into it, and there were too many characters. I found that any time I started to enjoy the plot or the story, another character of interest was introduced, and I felt distracted and swamped. Additionally, there’s a way to do multiple plot lines in a book, past and present, and this didn’t work well for me. Instead of adding to the interest, I found myself internally groaning anytime we switched plots. We also just sort of offhand mention our main character abusing pain killers and driving and that was weird.
