Oh, this was disgusting...

And I loved every word. Pretty sure the stories told in Woom will stick with me for the rest of my life. This is not for the faint of heart, but if you have the stomach, it is a tale of love and self discovery unlike any I've ever read.

Bless you, Shyla.

Within the first few pages into this book, I was 95% sure I knew what was going to happen, and for the most part I was correct. Typically, I find that predictability to be incredibly boring, but this format kept me reading, wondering just what was going on beneath the surface.

I pieced it together just moments before the book announced it and that, friends, is what amazed me. I'd had no clue that that was where it would end up, and even those closing few sentences blew my mind. Yes, I'd predicted the feature presentation (honestly you'd have to be pretty daft to miss it), but that one moment wasn't what the book was about and I loved it.

It's wonderfully written, and I really appreciated the insight at the end into how this book even came about.
