Minor: Vomit and Abandonment

There is student/teacher sexual abuse that is challenged in different ways throughout the book. A major part of the plot is seeing the sexual abuse develop, the victim romanticizing what happened, refusing to hold her abuser accountable due to gaslighting, and not wanting to come to turns with what happened.

A dark and complicated tale of abuse which asks thorny questions about power, age, and consent: and in doing so, elucidates why sexual abuse is so hard to prove and prosecute. Obviously... dark, complicated, thorny, sad, so I loved it. My only thing is that at times I felt it was a little too soapy for its subject matter, but generally a great read.
