Honestamente ni sé por dónde empezar. Tan solo "que estoy leyendo?". Desde el incesto hasta el plot twist final me han tenido cuestionandome por qué estaba leyendo ese libro. Aún así tengo la colección entera así que tocará leerse el segundo y seguir preguntándose por qué me hago eso

I first read this book some where around 8th grade and just now 30ish years later. 
I'm 8th grade it seamed a bit of a love story. This time is was a tale of horrible abuse and imprisonment.

This book takes on shocking turns. It's a good read, but it's horrifying at times.
