Tbh for the graphic rape scenes and mutilation of women's bodies I had to endure and the fact that the word "defiled" is used more than once to refer to a raped woman (instead of, you know, literally any other word that doesn't make it sound like the woman has lost worth now or somehow willingly let someone take her worth from her instead of someone else violating her against her wishes) there was not enough payoff in the sense of societal criticism. I expected this to pack a punch in regards to what it would say about today's society. Instead this is just torture porn (in the truest sense of both words).

um, what is this? i must say, i did not expect this book to be smut, like not at all. and the story can only be described as petty and vengeful, in addition to an uncalled-for amount of language that is awkwardly fleshly in totally nonerotic places. but for what it's worth it is entertaining because of exactly that. though it failed to deliver suspense, an important component that could add substantially to the reading experience, Cockblock did have some really good pacing. the way the plot unravels feels so natural yet unexpected and audacious. for sure, this is a fun read; i don't hate it.
