Not sure why the author is so secretive about the trigger warnings. I was able to guess what was going to happen. However, doesn't detract from the fact the book is decent. It is well written and a lot of thought is given to the characters' journeys. While I have a complicated relationship in the characters, I was fully invested in their story. Left on a cliffhanger making need for reading the 2nd in the duet a must.

What an emotional roller-coaster! This book is not your usual enemies-to-lovers romance as it is packed with so much pain and revelation that you can help but feel for the characters.

The sizzling chemistry between Rain and River is palpable from the get-go but one of them is fighting it, so much it turned into physical aggression that their Football coach had to intervene and send them both to a month's worth exile in order to bond. And bond they did.

There's so much heat, passion, hatred, submission, suffering, affection, confusing feelings to be unpacked by both Rain and River that it's a wonder if they will ever survive being together or being without.

This book has so much angst to get through that can leave the reader emotionally exhausted or overwhelmed, especially if one is sensitive to trigger content. But it's such a beautiful and heart-rending story that, if one can get past some of the traumatic passages, this book will give you a realistic narrative about how broken people can survive so much hate, and still manage to live through it. Or do they?

Author does not want to specify triggers but I do think it's warranted as I wasn't prepared for what I read and in some ways it's good, but it was difficult even for me who has read other deeply jarring books.
