Too much sexual content with young children and child abuse for my taste

i am not sure if i liked this book. the whole time i was reading it, i couldn't tell if i was actually enjoying. there would be times where i would be really getting into it and then something weird/unnecessary would happen and i would put it down. the intense descriptions of abuse were so not it for me, i dont think it is super necessary to include and actually found that the descriptions were almost glamourising it. (i am not against stories about abuse, i think they are important topics that should be covered in media, but i disagree with glamorisation). 

the storyline itself was really interesting, and although could have been better written, i did want to know what happened and was invested in Rose and Pierrot succeeding in what they set out to achieve.
