How is this book?

It’s not my favourite. It’s has some sexual content in it. I’ve skipped most of that since it’s the audiobook version. The bones of the story is good but it has themes of sexual assault and domestic violence. Which honestly from reading the blurb I thought it was going to be more like a murder mystery type book and it’s not at all that.

It got better at about 80% and more of that initial theme that drew me to reading it came out. Still not my favourite but had a good ending.

Aww sorry it wasn’t what you expected but glad that the ending was good! I’ve been trying to find books that are more substantive with the plot and less explicit content, it’s not easy!

Yes it’s true! it’s my fault though I didn’t look up the content warnings for this one. I just saw a book I seen on my list already in the audiobooks that I could take out now, read the synopsis and thought it sounded like it would be okay.
