Couldn’t get myself to finish this book. (Spoiler alert) It’s disgusting how the author writes fucked up sex scenes between the main protagonist and older women. I understand why people say this author does not write women as people but instead as props for the plot. Even when being raped they are written as compassionate towards the main character 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 disgusting.

I don't think I ever truly 'got' the story but it was a really nice read. Apart from the bits about the cats...
