i have to admire alissa nutting for really going there; she's certainly not lacking in gumption.

that said it would be a stretch to call reading this enjoyable

Disturbing, scary, shocking, etc. 

This book will fuck you up. The lead character is very complex and yet she's driven by something very simple. It just so happens that it's something illegal. She shows no remorse for any actions or any hint of change, and you have to applaud the author for tackling this brave subject in such a way. There's a juxtaposition in it that really messes with your head, it looses a star for just loosing some momentum and interest towards the end. For some reason it just felt a little rushed and hammed together, but other then that it's a powerful read. Do not read if you are easily offended however. If you thought lolita was too risky, stay away from this!

couldn’t find the satire no matter how hard i looked.

Yet another truly unrateable book. Props to the cover designer because whenever I turned off my ereader to see THAT staring back at me I felt nauseous. Jumpscared every time.
