Publisher's summary

The first time we met, it was an accident.

The second was the night my mother told me she was marrying his father. I didn’t know his name then, but I do now: Hayes Ambrose. Captain of the swim team. Popular, gorgeous, the guy every girl wants, with a smile that’s hiding a million secrets.

In the beginning I was certain we would become fast friends, until the day I heard a conversation that I was never supposed to hear. Overnight he became my worst nightmare, my bully. He’ll do anything to keep me quiet, and I’ll do anything to discover the truth. Until the truth is revealed and I realize it’s far more terrifying than I ever expected.

Great story!

I don't usually like high school drama romance, but this has very important topics that was very well written.

Warning⚠️⚠️

This book should come with a warning in the description of the book!! Multiple Rape!!! It took a lot to get through this book. I love this author and the book is well written but it’s not for everyone. I would not have purchased this book if I’d known the contents.

Loved the story line, drama and twist

Trigger warnings are needed BUT it was well worth the listen. It is a great story with a great story line. The twist is even better!

The trauma!!

The storyline of this book is trauma. That’s hard for a lot of people to hear and understand. You don’t have to understand it to empathize with people who experience it. Everyone deals with trauma differently. I’ve read mixed reviews on this book before reading it. The abuse it tells about, parental and sexual (both male and female) is a hard read, but it’s a true one.

Good read

Good story keeps you guessing! Great job narrating. Wasn’t sure I could continue because of what was in the book but well worth it to finish. Not what I thought like I said keeps you guessing.

The heaviness I felt reading this was bone-chilling..

I can still feel the throbbing of the weight I held in my head and in my heart reading this story. I went into this book blind and was met with the harshness of a grim reality these characters were forced to endure. I’ve read heavy content stories, but this book still sits in the pit of my stomach, rippling every so often to remind me that it’s present.
