julessssss's review
trigger warning: extremely detailed instances of rape and sexual assault (especially those of statutory rape and involving children), as well as detailed descriptions of (the pain of) healing from said experiences
(I wanted to put this here due to the fact that it is not here already and from a quick google, I couldn't find the warnings there either)
I feel I cannot give this book a rating. it was so extremely painful for me to read those scenes and it caused a deep reaction in me so that I did not want to, and even felt at times that I could not, finish the book. However, I did. and though I did not find the ending "satisfying" in response to these depictions of violence, it felt like it was attempting to be, and I appreciate that.
with that said, I feel complicated about this book and it is not that it is "bad", just painful. and sometimes painful can be "good"
