Could not for the life of me picture a child in these scenes like my brain does not go there so for real this was highly deplorable

this book doesn’t do that. her paraphilia isn’t the problem; it’s the fact that she’s a predator who knows what she’s doing. not once is she confronted with the fact that she a predator and murderer.
she is not even self-reflexive which doesn’t make sense because this is a woman who is extremely self aware of herself. we were inside this woman’s head the entire time and learned little to nothing about her desires. “it’s just what i like” is not a sufficient answer for WHY celeste choose to act on her desires.
i’m disappointed; my revulsion was just revulsion for the sake of nothing. my time has been wasted indeed.

Tampa does a great job showing the realities of female predators, and how their gender and looks can make them go about their ways completely unseen, and once they’re caught, getting lighter punishments purely because they’re women. This was horrific and hard to read, but I also think really important.
The writing was impeccable, and the portrayal of an unreliable narrator was done really well.
Please check trigger warnings before reading because this is very dark and explicit
