If the author really wanted to give us a HEA with one of the MCs then I believe she should have made the girl realize she was being abused. Just wanted to add my biggest issue is the ending. If you have never read a PD novel I would recommend going through some reviews before reading her books. If you liked this novel don't come at me. This isn't my first PD book and to this day Birthday Girl is one of my favorite romances, but to me this was just awful. I was so disturbed I skipped all the streamy parts because I just couldn't read how this girl confused sex with being loved. In real life she would have ended 6 feet under either because he kills her in one of his violent episodes or she just ends it herself. She is truly terrified of him but we are supposed to believe that deep down he loves her and they get their HEA. The dude she ends up with (spoiler /TW): almost raped her, gets physical with her in countless occasion, spits on her face and writes "slut" on her forehead. The female character convinces herself all the abuse she goes through is somehow love. And constantly justifies it with the character's shitty past. What honestly disturbed the most me was the fact that PD romanticizes all the abuse the girl goes through. I have read countless taboo/dark romance stories and none of them made me feel like this. Just finished reading this book and I feel sickened.
