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 😂.

This is awful. I saw a lot of positive reviews of this book claiming it was "spicy" and "taboo". This book is taboo... in the worst ways. Other than the awful toxic relationships and grooming of the MC, the writing is poor quality, and the characters are not well developed.
