If you are part of the kink community, you should recognize that the masochism in the book is more of an unhealthy pattern in a character’s abusive cycle rather than a prime example of how consensual BDSM is actually practiced.

Its not bad book, but to be perfect she misses a bit. I very much like the character development. The topicks that this book talks about.  Marianne is amazing character very good making her job by showing how self esteem is important and also Connell (even when he is an asshole sometimes) its also amazing show how his problems make people behave in sorting way. Amazing book showing how two people with different background but similar problems can become comfortable for each other.
