I listened to the audio while following in my physical copy ...

I love the rawness and realness in this one. It showcased the toxic environment one has not only in their family but also in a relationship.

I loved the messiness because some of us can relate this to a time in our lives.

At first, I was not too fond of the FMC, but I understood her. Can not immediately switch a way of thinking, especially if that is all you know.

The MMC obviously tried his hardest, and for one who related to his demeanor considering his own upbringing, I loved his character more than anyone else's.

I loved the twist in the book ... I was not expecting that at all. It made this story even more messy and realistic.

Definitely want to reread in the future to reevaluate some things, especially on how I feel about this in general.
