Publisher's summary

Dear A., I am writing to express my gratitude for your gift. There are no sufficient words, but please accept my sincerest thank you. Yours, R.

She writes me back. I didn't expect that. She tells me she's a lover of chicken pizza and video games, a hot sorority girl with the nickname Sloth. She wants to know something about me in return. She says I owe her. This is how she saves my life. She doesn't even know it.

The anonymity is good. She doesn't need to know me, but I need her kindness. We both live our lives: a letter here, a postcard there. For three years, I escape my demons. Then, one day, I'm pulled back in. I resign myself to what I know is coming, until the girl I'm spanking gives her safe word: sloth. And then the lie I'm living starts to unravel.

Intense story that was so intricately woven!

This book was amazing. Don’t take the few bad reviews into consideration because they say right in the review that they skipped some. This is a story that you do have to pay attention because there are so many twists! It did consume me and puts you through every single emotion! It is very dark and not an easy read but does end well! Long but absolutely wonderful!!

omg this was so good

wow! I loved it. it was a lot of everything good. glad I decided to try it

Oh the feels!

Such an emotional rollercoaster- in a good way! I felt like I was lost during the 1st half of the book but it gave the overall background story of how the 2 main characters are connected. I could have lived without the "it can't be true" chapter... not sure it was a total chapter but it felt long. I continued listening though and am glad I did. Such an emotion filled book and the narrators did a great job putting themselves into the characters! Definitely were some unexpected surprises throughout the whole book. Sex scenes were intense! Not the typical boy meets girl, girl swoons over boy, and happily ever after- this book has substance to it! Happy I took a chance with this book, I get tired of the same storyline all the time. This definitely was a change!

Lots o' drama

Narration was pretty good although I thought the female narrator's take on a male voice was a bit distracting. I stuck with it but there were moments when I felt like OK enough is enough. A lot of extra drama. if you've read any other books in this series, then you know it's part of the gig.

Sitting on the wire

How many times during the book I considered stopping
Glad I did not but it was painful at times

Great writer

Could look at this book as amazing or worst book ever. I definitely bawled. Very emotional hard to argue in the end that is not an incredible book.

Crazy Good!!

This story is one of my all time favorites!! It is so different and the writing is incredible!! How the story developed captured my attention when I read it and now that I've listened to it, I fell in love all over again.

If you prefer to not read steamy, sexy reads, then be cautious. Because it is HOT!

My only complaint is that when I read along with some part of Part 3-Chapter 15, the part discussing his brother at the end was omitted. I feel that conversation is CRITICAL to the story. Plus it was in the middle of a paragraph. The part that was deleted began with, "His took, and he was better fast..." to the remainder of the chapter. PLEASE FIX!!

ME BAWL (I CRIED)

Emotional 🎢.
Loved every second of this. And looking forward to the rest of th3 series.

One of the best books of 2015

Sloth is the most gut wrenching, heart breaking stories I have ever read. I have read it too many times to count. This version is even more amazing if you can believe that.
Cleo and Kellan and their love story is like none you have ever read before.
Buy it, listen to their story and laugh and cry along with the rest of us!
IT IS SO WORTH IT! Swoon!

Ups and downs, but ultimately great

spoiler!

I was in total tears by the end. Sweet and sexy. possibly similar to The Fault in our Stars but I never read the book or saw the movie so I'm not sure.
