I couldn't even make it through the first third of this book. The writing was lacking. Immediately after I put this book down, I picked one up from a writer I love and it's shocking to see the difference in quality of writing. 
 There should have been more conversation. More showing and not telling. Word choice didn't feel natural. 
 I wanted to like this book so bad. The bad cover drew me in and the colors on the front made me want to love this story. But I didn't. I couldn't. And from other people's reviews, I'm glad I didn't get far because I can't stand abuse stories. Too reminiscent of 50 shades for my liking. 
 It's a shame because I got this in my bookworm box but I'll just have to hide it deep in my bookshelf.
