so maybe I just got the wrong impression from the synopsis, but I thought this would be more about the revenge instead of me reading this poor girl's repeated assault for a majority of the book. I understand the purpose of this novella and the assault, but that does not mean I needed to read about it in such detail for so long. we barely got any revenge and microscopic crumbs for the relationship (not that I wanted a romance, but damn)

I'm also disappointed by the content warnings being at the end of the book. this is self-published, so that was a choice.

with all that being said, this is inspired by a horrible true story of someone close to the author and honestly the writing was great, but there were just too many graphic rape scenes for this to be good in my opinion. the point could have been gotten across without them.
