debitoni's review

David, the POV character was just awful. His view and treatment of women was disgraceful, the last straw was how he was describing and sexualising his daughter. Not how I want to spend my time.

i read this book for school and i guess it’s interesting if you really analyse the context and stuff but i definitely wouldn’t read it outside of an academic setting.
