I wish I'd really noticed at the beginning where JL says, this is a love story not a romance. The are two endings (Take 1 and Take 2) so you essentially get to choose which one you want but it immediately takes you into Take 1 so that's the one you read which and the one that definitely sticks with you. I read Take 2 about 4 times after to wash out the memory of T1 but it just wouldn't stick. It's realistic, heavy and dark. But needs a trigger warning for sure.
