This is such a "wtf did I just read?" book. I'm seriously dumbfounded. I started reading this because I saw lots and lots of people recommending this so I had high expectations, but then when I actually read it I was like "wtf is this?" Seriously, spare yourselves.

This book was fucking weird to say the least. The writing was good I guess, but the entire story was just  weird. So this is like bleach your brain afterwards kind of book. Very controversial. I do have to say the sex scenes were hot to say the least. My brain just hurts from the entire thing 😂.
