Who May Not Like This Book:

This isn’t a light or traditional romance, and the infidelity theme is front and center - so if cheating is a dealbreaker, steer clear. Some readers found the writing style jarring and repetitive, and felt disconnected or frustrated by the main character’s choices. It can also be an intensely emotional (even exhausting) read, which might not suit those looking for a feel-good love story or a neat, comforting ending.

A bold, gut-wrenching love triangle that will leave you divided and emotionally raw - definitely not for everyone, but unforgettable for those who can handle the heat and heartbreak.
