Honestly, this is a good but hard read. The FL is struggling to survive, constantly finding herself cornered and climbing her way through while the ML is doing the same, in different ways. Both have incredible amounts of trauma and keep experiencing it through their "family" which keeps the cycle going. My hope is they genuinely break the cycle and find their peace together. Plus I hope the FL's friend who survived gets her happy ending too. All these people deserve genuine love, compassion and fucking hope. Fuck everybody else in this story. (except the kind side characters)
