I couldn't stop reading! I didn't see all the plot twists coming, although with other mystery novels I actually figure out what it's about very quickly. This book was just completely different. Probably the best mystery novel I've ever read.

I don't mind reading a book where an adult and a minor have a relationship, but this one just keeps saying that this shit is true love, which, ew, she's a kid, man !
That aside the rest of the story is good, nothing exceptional but still nice to read. Though it was WAY too long for what it is.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Adult/minor relationship and Child abuse

Moderate: Mental illness, Sexual assault, Suicidal thoughts, and Violence

Minor: Homophobia

The whole story centres the relationship betwewn a 34-year-old man and a 15-year-old girl, which is treated as "true love". Also probably not true depiction of mental illness.
