This book. I came into reading this book with a set of expectations and it definitey threw those for a loop.  The tension in the book was palpable to the point that I had to put it down multiple times because it became too much.  As a mother the scenes that were in the manuscript were horrifying and heartbreaking.  There were spicy scenes that lightened the mood a bit but then you'd remember that there was this tension always lurking in the background.  Fiction is a crazy place and this book does a great job of diving into the dichotomy that a writer, I'm sure has to live and work through.  Great read, but kinda f***ed me up.
