2.0

This might be the most problematic book I’ve read this year. 
There’s a lot of abuse, a great deal of which is heavily romanticised between Michael and Rika.

And for almost no reason at all the ending culminates in a James Bond-esque kidnapping moment with speed boats. Wild.

Please check the trigger warnings before reading.
