if you know me IRL you didn’t see this review.

look. this is a vv conflicting book. It IS NOT for everyone. It IS problematic. It IS aggressive and dark and twisted. It IS NOT a fun little fairy tale. 

All that being said, I actually really liked it and as much as I can obviously see the issues, it made me feel something. A lot of somethings. It had me questioning a lot of things such as - should I maybe be in therapy? should I be arrested for listening to this in public? should I share my location with everyone that I know in case I’m kidnapped and thrown into the human trafficking underbelly of the world?

look I can see why people have issues with this - is it borderline torture porn? Kind of. Is there an extreme lack of consent? Absolutely at first, without a doubt. 

This book has more trigger warnings than any book I’ve ever read, but I think if you go into it knowing what it is, you’re less likely to be appalled and you’ll take it with a grain a salt.
