Its a great book just be careful with the triggers such as sex worker, pedophilia, murder, and suicidal thoughts. It's pretty fast paced of a book. It was pretty sexual based, but quite enjoyable.

The Girl in 6E by A. R. Torre was an interesting and quick-to-read thriller. Though I wouldn’t recommend this book to everyone, if you’re not easily offended, I would give it a shot. I think that there was a lot of built out character moments, but I don’t know that it was really necessary information for the plot to progress. It didn’t provide too much added insight into our main character to sit in on some of the calming sessions, but it certainly added a lot of pages. Personally, I didn’t find that these chapters with some of her clients added to the story, but some of you who enjoy spicier novels might find these chapters a bit more enjoyable. Overall I liked the way the story unfolded, even if some of it was really creepy and cringy. I’m not typically one to shy away from a book due to content warnings (and I think this one handles the situation in a way that made sense and didn’t glorify the attacker), but if you are, then I would definitely look at those before deciding to read this book. Obviously there’s some creepy, uncomfortable, hard to read scenes, but it does make the characters more lifelike, which is why I’ll say that you should read to your own comfort level. I think the book was well written and while I wouldn’t call the characters likable (for the most part) I would say that they are very true to life. I think that the actual plot, drive, and decisions of the characters were well-founded and justified, which is hard to do in a succinct, understandable way when you’re dealing with such severe topics. If you can get over the content warnings and want to read a unique thriller, this one is entertaining and enjoyable.
