Truly a dark and disturbing read. This book made me sick which is exactly what it was supposed to do. This really helped open my eyes to how society treats female  predetors.

I was genuinely conflicted on how to rate this book. While a horrible book in its subject and perspective, the writing was well done in making me truly feel like I was in Celestes mind and be completely grossed out by her actions. The ending (pause for spoilers)

was extremely well done and while I wished she ended up being treated in jail equal or worse to how she treated kids, it was a more realistic and sobering version of the story.

If you think you can handle the story and enjoy being subjected to twisted mindsets in books, this was an amazing book to read.
