Honestly... I don't know how to feel about this book. Its odd. Made me uncomfy. I did enjoy the writing style, and it was a quick read, but I don't know if it resonated with me. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. And the relationship is just so... gross? Like after part one I began to get much more interested in the story. I'm not sure how to feel to be honest.
