this book was so shocking and disturbing. it manages to really cover all major triggers very in depth so um good job love that! i have so much to say abt this book but i would never in good faith recommend this to anyone. definitely the definition of a feel-bad book for sure! it was very horrific but i was so invested i had to read it in one sitting

I found this captivating. It’s a story about a teenage male escort but told through the forum posts of men who are obssesed with him. The posts are not always as they seem, with different posters lying about who they are and what they have done with the escort. It’s dark and depressing, with themes of sexual violence, drug abuse, and online obsession.
