The first chapter I was hooked and was excited for this to be a 5 star book. Extremely disappointed with the rest of the book. Unsure if I was missing the point ?

I really wish my version of the cover didn't mention sexuality. It meant I was expecting something that wasn't there. The only sex in this book is non-consensual and the only people we see desiring it are the men doing it.
That said, this book is very effective and was hard to read at times (because it was so well written). I'm not sure why certain plot points were included but overall its a good book.
