around 75% it became a 4.
and at the end it’s such an easy 5 star book.
i don’t even want to comment on it, it’s disturbing and impactful.
holy fuck.
edit: back down to 4 stars sorry babes

I'm really unsure about this one. I found it to be a very quick read and I think it is trying to be a gender flip of a psychopath and sex crimes while also discussing misogyny and gender roles. It does a fairly decent job, but there's something that doesn't really connect. I thought it was interesting Irina kept going for 16 year old boys after being abused at 16 but there was no greater exploration into that. There is no resolution or clarification at the end. Trigger warnings for this book are no joke.

‘My mam always used to tell me that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. And Eddie from Tesco is a fly, but he's got a taste for vinegar. It's like vinegar is all he's ever had from people, and now he doesn't even know what honey tastes like.’
‘I wonder what the fuck I have to do for people to recognise me as a threat… Do I have to smash a glass over the head of every single man I come into contact with, just so I leave a fucking mark?’
