I haven't read anything like this before. It was dark, sexual, and at times made me uncomfortable. Rice's writing is very flowery and flowing which adds an interesting layer to the darker moments. The narrorator on the audio book is very good.

goldensisyphus's review against another edition

This book is not about consensual nonconsent, it is not sexy. It is literally about rape and brainwashing, and everyone -literally everyone - fails the female main character. It is the epitome of what is wrong with everything everywhere, and is exhausting and depressing as all f*** to read. It did nothing but disgust and anger me.
