What a terrifying story. And having read Yellowface last month, it seems this is my summer of books about narcissistic authors.

I went into this book mostly blind, I had it on hold at the library but I keep things on hold for a really long time so who knows when I added it. The whole time I was reading I just felt this sense of dread, I was so so uncomfortable. 

Some parts of it, especially the climax, felt a little bit rushed and unrealistic, but I did really enjoy the experience. I like seeing an unlikeable protagonist that is still a deep character with explanations for her actions, and this was done very well.

There's a fair amount of trauma dumping and descriptions of SA and grooming.
