There is a use of a slide one time-to describe a character’s inability or stubbornness to adapt his language to modern terminology in a historical context. I didn’t anticipate it and I wish there was someone who mentioned it. It’s a story heavily about a fractured and demanding father whose daughter is just discovering herself. It is well written and I think all TW that I applied are accurate.readersreadingnook's review

What a tedious novella. This isn't horror. Not, like, paranormal or supernatural or anything horror genre. This is more literary than anything else. I read it by rapidly flipping through the pages and gleaning the general plot. Took, like, 10 minutes to 'read'.
It's a story about abuse of power and misogyny and sexism. Boring, full offense, and the lack of apostrophes and indications of speech is extremely irritating to me. [Placeholder for a go fund me link to buy the author some apostrophes and periods.]
Also the lgbt rep? Nonexistent. Oh you get a flacid, pure wholesome [slur intended] white bread version of a girl having a crush on another girl. Thats it. At times I think authors just throw in a splash of lgbt rep just to claim its 'diverse' and thus becomes harder to criticize because 'omg, are you homophobic? you don't like a book with gay people in it? smh, you're horrrible!!'
