When discussing people who have been victimized and go on to victimize others, it’s important to have nuance and recognize that someone’s abusive actions don’t magically cancel out abuse they previously experienced. You can be a victim and an abuser at the same time - this seems to be a foreign concept in this book. This book had a shred of nuance at first, but it was gone by the end and the author did not handle this important theme responsibly. It was said throughout by multiple “reasonable” characters that a grooming victim actually manipulated the much older man into being with her, with minimal criticism, that it seemed like this was the (gross n misogynistic) point the author was trying to make. The notion that children are responsible for adults’ sexual abuse is always false and I cannot in good faith recommend this book as a result of that notion being promoted. It is always the adult’s responsibility to decline any sexual advances from children. There was so much bullshit at the end about
