I finished it, so there's that.
This was not my cup of tea. It might've worked better if it was RH, but then other things would've been just as awkward and mildly awful. I feel like this book tried to give power to women, but in a way that feels anti feminist and it's odd. The dichotomy doesn't sit well with me, I don't know. I don't think I'll read anything else from Penelope Douglas, no matter the crazy hype around their books.
TW: sexual content, violence, alcohol, suicidal ideation, adult/minor relations, blood; mentions suicide, death of a parent, pregnancy, cancer, domestic abuse, drugs
