Learning to be loved

First off this book is super dark and has some very prominent in your face depictions so please check the triggers before you read this book.

Nearly every woman at some point hates the way they look. But what if you have been told how terrible and fat you are for as long as you can remember. Well now those words are facts in your mind. This is where we find McKinley.

When McKinley met Erik she thought things were going to be great and for the first year they were. As his true colors came out she knew everything he said was true and that she should just be happy he cared enough to try to change her.

Erik is the singer of a band and he is opening for McKinley's favorite band, Dark Notes, so when her and her friend get a chance to go to the show they are so excited. While backstage (she is also Eric's PA) she is eating something from the catering table when Erik explodes saying she is eating something unapproved. The fight escalates enough that the lead singer of Dark Notes hear the commotion.

Jagger is pulled from his dressing room and is stopped short when he sees the most beautiful woman. His band mate tells him she's with Erik so he is prepared to leave it alone. Well that is until he lays her across the table and punches her in the face.

This moment is the first real turning point in this story and things get better and worse along the way.

This book is beautiful and tragic and parts of it felt entirely too real for me. I absolutely loved that it was written and am so glad to have read it. I absolutely adore Jagger and what he does throughout the story.

He may be a bad boy rockstar but he is a really sweet guy too.

"If you'd give me the chance, I'd give you romance, baby. I'd f** romance you until your goddam head spins"

This story leaves us with questions about what is going on with McKinley's best friend. It also makes you wonder about Jett's background. I can't wait to see what we find out next because I have a feeling it is terrible and I truly hope Jett finds a reason to be better.
