I loved most of it

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 18, 2023

I absolutely loved this book except for one part. This one part just completely ruined this book for me. I actually was thinking this was one of the best books I had read so far this year until this part happened and it completely ruined the book for me. I almost didn't finish the book but thought I should see how it ends even though it made me so upset and mad. So if you decide to read this book beware you will probably get upset during this book if you have any type of a heart and feelings.

I totally didnt cry. (This is a lie.)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 15, 2023

I think I read this in a day? Holy hell. Anyway, Jenna and Damian are the type of non-perfect characters you'd love to read about in a book. The small amount of growth we see from the characters when it comes to dealing with their past trauma helps the reader develop a sense of understanding.
In the beginning we are lead with a false hope that Jenna found love, but it quickly escalated into a abusive relationship in every shape and form. The author does go into slight detail with the abuse, so please be aware of the trigger warnings before reading. There is a death as well.

I have to say.. this book is very emotional. It hits issues very close to home for me. If you have triggers with domestic abuse. Read with caution. Half way I cried a lot on and off, but the book definitely has its happy ending despite the trauma and loss leading up to the end. These situations definitely don’t alway turn out w a HEA in real life.
First time I’ve read from this Author.
I have to say to the Author.. you really put it bluntly. You didn’t hold anything back. Which made it even more emotional and real. As this is what happens more than people realize. Maybe this book will give those who need it the courage to do what they need to do, to get themselves out of danger and to the safety they most definitely deserve❤️.

Good book

Such a great story. I couldn't stop reading it and the characters were so easy to like and fall for. Some parts drug on a little to much. But a great book in all together.

For the first time in a long time, i cried while reading. I'm not going to spoil anything, but if you want to read this one, be ready to cry your eyes out. It's an amazing story, and well written. I could feel her emotions, jenna, as she battled against herself and her ability to "fix" him. Just be prepared and go in with an open mind. I had to stop a couple of times while reading just to really take in the story before going on. It's an amazing story of love, perseverance, and knowing your worth. Read it, you will not be disappointed. On to the next one !!

This book was so fantastic! I read it for free with my kindle unlimited, but because it was so good I bought paperbacks and sent it to some friends so they could read it and talk about it with me. I feel like I need therapy after finishing it. Lol i stayed up several nights until I finished it. Who needs sleep when you can stay up with a great book?? Great characters, fantastic storyline, and some steam!

I don't write very many reviews. Mostly because I Have a hard time putting Into to words and to want to say. So I want to say thank you for writing this book. For bringing to light more on what it !looks like to be in a abusive relationship. People who have never been in one always say why didn't they just leave .
So Thank you

Very emotional!

Being a victim of domestic violence myself this book hit home. My only disappointment in the book was her brother's death. Now I realize that in some books the death of a character serves a purpose but my opinion the death of this character didn't really serve a purpose. The main character has already gone through so much and just when they're getting ready to win against her abuser he is able achieve his goal and take one more thing from her before he dies himself.

Gripping story

I started this book with a very different mindset than when I finished it. This is a life-alltering read! Thank you Kathy, for writing it. I believe it will help many people understand the subject of domestic violence and why so many do not end it immediately after the first physical altercation.

No spoilers but damn this book is sad. It definitely made me cry. Even with a happy ending I’d still consider it a super sad book
