Blahhhhhh. I see what the author is going for, but this is less horror and more abuse/torture porn. Pass :/

I feel bamboozled. This book was not really what it was advertised to be in the synopsis. That synopsis sounded great; what I read was not. And, at the risk of sounding prudish, it was pretty disgusting. This may be up your alley if you’re in to a lot of taboo/boundary breaking and not really into plot or character development, or indeed, a narrative thread that can be followed.

I get it. I see the point the author made, but it scared me nonetheless

This book was fucked up but I couldn’t stop reading, so well written. 

I will admit there were some paragraphs I had to skip because I couldn’t mentally handle them.

An incredibly brutal character study about suffering, trauma, and desires of some very very troubled young adults.

Check TWs.
