I don’t feel comfortable giving this book a rating. I’ve read books centered around grooming and SA before but nothing like this or from the perspective of the perpetrator and not the victim. Main character Celeste is a cruel, narcissistic, selfish sociopath who prays on young boys. She’s cold, calculated and has zero empathy or remorse for her actions and pretty privilege gets her out of any true justice. It was a hard book to get through. It was written to disgust and appall you and it does nothing less.

Tough One to Rate

This book was very well written but the subject matter is nauseating and it’s very graphic. It’s strange even giving this book 3 stars due to the subject matter but they are deserved.

this book made me feel so dirty, but it was so well written that i could visibly picture everything and couldn’t put it down 

Repulsive. The writing was good.
