I understand it’s not love, and that’s the part of me that thinks maybe I’m not crazy, if I can know that much.

If I was a lawyer, this would be my defense if someone asked if she has mush for brains.

Anyways, I had written in a progress update around 65% through the book saying I was getting a migraine. And that is how I will continue to describe my thoughts and feelings while reading this book. I was going to rate this book a 2 because that’s how I was feeling however, the epilogue really ended the book on a high note, this changing my reading to a 3.5.

It didn’t wow me or cause any emotional WTFs which is the main reason for the lower rating. I think the smut scenes were good and after reading Guilty Pleasures, I still do like her writing style. It was a quick read but it’s not something that will be on my mind.

Now for why my rating went up:

But I know I need him. And I hope he needs me. What we have is fucked up and twisted, but it serves a need. I know I’ve always been wired differently. He only brought to the surface what was already there.

UGH THIS WAS SO GOOD. AND FOR WHAT????

SPOILERS BELOW!!!!

This was 80% due to the epilogue. During this, the Dr. and the Emily’s mother are reviewing the letter that she left when she returned back to her captor. I really liked it because of the amount of growth she had and expressed throughout the letter. I think her ability to be level headed was all over the place during this book but in the letter she basically expressed how much she enjoyed pleasing him, and how his displeasure caused by her, was debilitating to her.
